I have taken these wrapped up in a baggy as a little gift for teachers or friends. I have prepared this in a disposable dish and dropped off at many a bake sale. I have given these away as little Christmas gifts to my piano students. And every single time, I have switched up the recipe. You are going to love this and how easy it is to make them look pretty to give away to family and friends. Give it a try and you will see what I mean!
