These are WONDERFUL!! Of course, they're more like candy than produce, but that works for me! Pretty easy to make, too, just resist the strong temptation to lick the spoon (that would be seriously painful!). Another winner in my book, Mexi-Rosie!

I am a 53 year old Mexican-American elementary school teacher. I enjoy reading biographies, intresting nonfiction, and also love all types of catchy upbeat music. My favorite cookbook is the "Kitchen Fair" trademark cookware recipe book in Spanish. Being bilingual and bicultural, I've come to appreciate the best of both U.S. and Mexican cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised that many, many zaar members include Mexican food as their first favorite food. I'll try to post, as time permits, some Mexican recipes (and also American) that I consider good.
