hello. If making these as a gift for someone… How would you suggest doing the drizzle? Since you say not to drizzle until ready to serve? Would it work making the drizzle and placing in a baggy that they could snip the corner and drizzle when ready? or do you think that the drizzle would harden and therefore not work? Thank you. Recipe sounds amazing..
Hi Nancy, I think that’s a great idea! You can find little bags in the craft section at Walmart on the jewelry making aisle that are the perfect size for this.
