You could try a slightly different flavor by adding almond extract instead of vanilla, if that’s your thing. I thought the recipe was so close to perfection as is, that I’m not going to change a thing when I make these for our family dinner.
However, I’m thinking of melting some dark and white chocolate so that I could decorate these with it. Not for flavor, just for a little bit of extra touch! I know all the kids will go crazy the minute they see these – and I have a feeling some grown-ups are going to be pretty excited, too!
