They went very quick at Jeff's office today.<BR/><BR/>Ange and Culinarily curious - I posted the recipe when I put up the post. I checked in a couple different browsers and it shows the link to the recipe. If you don't see it, please let me know and I can try to figure out what went wrong!<BR/><BR/>Cate - Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Ed - These would make great x-mas cookies! <BR/><BR/>Barbara - Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Laura - I stuck a toothpick into the ball to dip them - you could also use a plastic fork with the middle twines broken off. I tried using my fingers, but it just didn't work for me!<BR/><BR/>Ana - Hee hee I know what you mean! Thankfully most went into Jeff's office today!<BR/><BR/>Erin - Thanks!<BR/><BR/>mebeth - your too kind! Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Marilyn - Thanks!
