4 stars if you just cut the sugar in half. 5 stars if (for Christmas) you also add a jar of maraschino cherries (chopped) and anise extract nearly equal to the vanilla extract, then half-dip when cooled in melted chocolate. (Don't overheat the chocolate or it will lose its temper.) Best eaten straight from the bowl, but we like them after they're baked and dipped too.

Excellent. This is exactly what I wanted to serve with sour cream chicken. Not sweet, but good and simple, to complement the other meal components. I cut the margerine in half and added 1 T brown sugar to cut the bitterness of the cornmeal, and baked it in the oven (no stovetop step) at 400 for 40 mins. Perfect.
