I added dried cranberries instead of nuts and also added less sugar. The kids love these and it's super easy.

Sounds yummy. I'll have to wait until Passover is over to make them.

Sounds wonderful!!

Have you ever tried using goose eggs instead of chicken? One goose egg is about 2-3 times a chicken egg and they are VERY good. Can't find them where I live now, but in the mid-west they are very common. HUGE eggs and very rich.

Sounds yummy! Do you happen to have the calorie and other nutritional counts?

[Lothlorien]

no calorie count, but I'm sure it's high with the butter. However, since there is no artificial junk in it, I'm loving making these for the kids and they really like them. Missy was telling my friend about them at a birthday party today.

Do you have a diet version of this? Sounds too good!

-Congrats on making your own recipe!

Abbey, I'm not even sure that I could even find goose eggs around here. Oddly enough, NJ used to be the egg capital of the USA, but due to all the new housing, that's no longer the case.
