Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
We found it is easier to peal it into strips then to cut it after it's cooked.
Can be dipped in dark chocolate after it's cooled.
You can use cinnamon instead of cardamon or omit both.


We give these as christmas gifts. They are a favorite every year. The one year we didn't do them we HEARD about it.
