Macee loves to be my little helper in the kitchen and she's getting pretty good it's so fun to have her help. She is the one that decorated ours so they are quite fancy. I got this recipe out of the Idaho State Journal today and we had everything to make them so I went ahead and did it. When I first saw the recipe it looked way too hard I thought you have to cook the glaze oh great but they were truely easy. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!! this one will be in my recipe box for a long time!!
