Perfect in almost every way, but to reduce the alcohol and intensify the rum flavoring I add the rum and the butter first bring to a boil, add the sugar, and water, and bring to a slower boil, till it is a sticky glaze and no longer a syrup. I also glaze som walnuts to put on top for decoration. I just do not like the alcohol as much as the flavoring.

I could not get these to puff...Followed the recipe to a Tee...Wish they had though, cuz you all made them sound so yummy!

I tried thie recipe 3 times and they never puffed and were greasy rocks coming out of the oven!! I have no clue what I did wrong as I followed the instructions to a Tee...They seemed to work for everybody else. I did find another recipe that called for butter and they came out light and fluffy. The recipes were almost identical, but this one was with shortening, and the other was with butter, the others only cooked for 22 minutes and were done...But it was fun experimenting and that is why I only gave it two stars. I am not blaming the recipe, just saying it did not work for me...Lucky you, for those it did work for.
