These were super easy and very tasty. Unfortunately I don't have saucers for my coffee cups, cause that would have been ideal, but as is we just popped them in the mugs and it was delicious. Thank you Annacia! Reviewed for Photo Tag Winter 2007

Super easy, super tasty and super pretty! Thanks for an easy, right on recipe. I halved it and got exactly 12 spoons. I haven't tried it in coffee yet, but am enjoying it in my hot cocoa as I type and it really adds that little special something. Thanks!
