What can I saw about these but they just melt in your mouth yummy.I placed most of them after baked without the last berries and glaze in the freezer to keep for when they are needed. (Like maybe just in the evenings for a frozen snack.) Or rally when I have company. Thanks for a fast and easy recipe.
