The heady fragrances of rum, allspice, lemon and cinnamon made me think of the tropics and a warm cozy Christmas all grandma's house all at once. These are a joy to make, and they taste good on day one,..on day 7 they are exquisite! There's still time before Christmas...make some! They will make you, friends and family very happy! I used Kraken spiced rum and unsweetened coconut flakes.Recipe did not specify on the coconut. Just delicious!
