(User Info | Send a Message) | | i think i made these a bit too thin, they really need to be tiny balls as well as they spread out quite a bit. i didnt taste the lemon much and there was an aftertaste that i wasnt that keen on but my daughter loved them! next time i will add more lemon and make them smaller and fatter. |
