Excellent, wonderful! – Anonymous Review

It is very rich and a little too sweet but I would make it again. Maybe a little less sugar. I would like to try half vanilla and half almond. – Reviewed by Marilyn Cox

My husband is Dutch and just LOVED this recipe. Very rich, very easy! Up in Canada most Dutch stores sell these for up to $7.00 each. This is a VERY good alternative and easy on the budget also. – Reviewed by Dale Oud
