I made this recipe and sent to some of our soldiers in Iraq. They were a big hit.

I made these at Christmas and they were great! But then I also made these with a couple of changes and they were even more loved by everone! I added 2 tsp. cinnamon instead of just one and then also added 1/4-1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper ... yummy!
