These were lovely. A little bit tough, but the taste was wonderful. I used chocolate chips instead of chocolate shavings, and added a teeny bit more nutmeg than was required, but they still turned out great. I'm also using a different frosting recipe because I didn't have any cream cheese or liquor.Reply
