Frozzie,  would you come down and do the crosses for me..?   These look terrific. 

[Frozzie]

With pleasure chookie but they are no better than yours 😁😊... And thankyou 😊

[Amy :-)]

Yum yum Kim

I've just through all the comments, I'll do a practice run of these over the weekend

Can someone remind me when Easter is?

[judydawn]

Good Friday is the 29th March Amy.

[Amy :-)]

Ah, thanks Judy. Still a few weeks to practice then

[Frozzie]

You wont need to practice amy they are quite easy and your a great cook 😁

[achookwoman]

Amy,  this is one time when the home made ones are soooooooo much better than the bought ones.  You can also make them with the fruit of your choice.    I am going to make some with Dried Apricot and some with dried cherries.  Have fun.

Thanks Chookie and Kim

How long do they stay fresh? Or do we need to eat the whole batch in one day?

Chookie, I like the sound of apricots. Can I add nuts too?

[judydawn]

Just freeze the leftovers Amy. 

[*suzanne*]

in my house Amy they are gone the day they are made ;D but freezing them is a good idea if they don't get eaten

[Frozzie]

Amy thy arent as fresh the next day.. Next time i would freeze half for us unless you have enough ppl to eat them all.. They are very yummy fresh and today i just heat one for 10 secs in the microwave to freshen it up a little before

Thanks for the tips ladies
