Liz (Chef #1195574)'s Note:

I love a great cannoli, but HATE to fry the shells because of the mess. I found a pizzelle iron recipe for cannoli shells on All-Recipes.com and would love to share. Not only do they taste GREAT and are less messy to make...they are lower in both calories and fat!!!! LOVE IT!!!
