Had fun making these mouth-stuffers & they've been a big hit in my cookie/candy sale ~ The half that I put out yesterday were gone in no time! For myself, I appreciated the combo of raspberry, apricot & orange zest (the latter was a very generous rounded measure)! Then, the colored sugar was more Halloween oriented, & that worked out just fine! Thanks for a SWEET KEEPER! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick-A-Chef]
