I'm always on the lookout for ways to make a traditional treat more special, and this recipe is a great example of that! The recipe itself is pretty straightfoward, but it's the addition of color and a few finishing touches that take them from Plain Jane to Fancy Nancy.
There are so many different things you could do with these; a spritz of edible glitter, a pretty fondant flower, the possibilities are endless!
