I made these for a dinner party and they were terrific! I will make these again for sure. Also I used pure maple syrup in the recipe. It was worth it.

very confusing to put together, quantities weren't quite right. We added more ingredients to make it come out right. everyone liked it, but to time consuming to go with. Wasn't exactly like it started out but it went over well.

Make sure you use REAL maple syrup; I grew up on it and it will make ALL the difference in the taste.
