Personal Notes:
Amelia and I made these together with our Brownie Troop when living in Rhode Island for Thinking Day. Italy was the country we were representing and these were very yummy. I love the days of being both of the girl's Girl Scout Troop Leader and I hope you both cherish the memories as well! #girlscoutsrock! #onmyhonor #GSthinkingday
