Notes
This is a LBC original!
Our son-in-law loves anything chili lime so after finding these on Pinterest I decided to make them for all the men in our family for Christmas. I have to say the fist batch never made it as gifts…They are OUUUUT-STANDING! My husband & I ate the first batch right off. I made quite a few batches after that and they were definitely a hit. Thank you. These are for sure our new annual Christmas gifts for the guys.
That is awesome to hear Bonnie! Thanks! 🙂
