These remind me of a cookie my father used to make. He used to serve them along with a sweet white wine before dinner when we had our extended family over. This box is a perfect summery treat that I keep on the side to enjoy a cup of coffee.

Tastes like a graham cracker

By Taste tester

from Little Rock, Arkansas on 4/27/2007

Pros:

Boring

Cons:

Blah

Best Uses:

Would not buy again

Describe Yourself:

Foodie

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Usually when you claim you have the old family recipe, it is something special. This was not. It tasted like a dull graham cracker. Friends and family shared the experience with me in an in home taste testing. It was embarassing.
I would not buy this product again.
