I'm thinking these would make a nice gift, do you know if they would keep well for a few days? Is there an easy way to warm them up?
ReplyDeleteThey will last at least two weeks in an airtight container. I haven't tried warming them up once they've cooled so I'm not sure about that. But they taste delicious at room temp as well!
ReplyDeleteYou can freeze them too. I have been making a similar recipe for years. I use champagne or sherry in place of the water. The Sherry is really the most flavorful. Everyone in my family asks for these every year at Christmas time. They do make great gifts.
