Cook's Notes
There is not a whole lot of side notes or comments to add to this recipe. I am not even really sure I remember where I got it from but it has become a family and friends classic. Every year just before Christmas, I get at least 5 calls from people asking me if I still have this recipe. (Cause they loose it every year). This was always one of Becaboos favorites and she asked me to post it. These are great to put in a tin and give as a gift (like in the picture above) or just to have sitting around the house to have something really good to nibble on.
