  3. I’m going to try these this afternoon. I will post again once they are done. I just had to comment that many people leave a comment( not just here) but have not actually made the recipe. What is the point?? I read the reviews to get an idea how they turn out ! I will update after making these.

  4. I’m with ya on nutella- I can’t seem to keep my spoon out of it. I had to start buying the 1 serving packages for when I really want it to restrain myself! I might have to buy a regular size jar to make these though…
