recipe reviews for:

Pomanders

“Pomanders are one-of-a-kind, no-bake chocolate cookies. This recipe has been handed down from many generations in our family. As a tradition, Grandma has made Pomanders for us nearly every Christmas, but they are great year-round! The longer you let these no bake cookies set the better they taste. So, make them a few weeks before you plan to eat them, hide them from your family and friends, and have patience! Store in tight containers for two to three weeks to let the flavors fully cultivate and intensify. You can eat these right after they're made, but for best taste let them sit at least two weeks.”

Eh, I was not impressed. Flavors didn't appreciably improve after aging for nearly 2 weeks. Pretty much a waste of ingredients.

So I am a skeptic, especially where AR is concerned- I read tons of reviews before trying a recipe. Made these 10 days ago, wondered if they would be as good as the reviews. Tasted the first one today, and these are simpy amazing! I wish I'd made 3 x as much! I used Fiori di Sicilia from KAF- about 1/4 tsp. and 1 tsp vanilla. These things are simply amazing! Found some pretty gold metallic fancy sugar to roll in and they look like chocolate dusted with gold. Making more for New Year's TODAY!!! Don't wait to try these- they will be a new family favorite! Edit: After giving these on my Christmas cookie plates, the consensus is that it's better to roll them in plain cocoa than any sugar- cocoa deepens the flavor and the texture is better. Still love these, just with cocoa not sprinkles or sugar!

This was a great recipe, and I had a number of people ask me for the recipe and we're impressed with how simple they are to make.

These are a huge hit every time I make them!!! I did make a few changes, I used peacans instead. I also used madagasgar vanilla. My family ate them before they could even set for the two weeks!! I went to bring them to a party and they were gone, I had to go the local bakery for something to pawn of as my own. The next time I make them I hide them at my neighbors house!! Or not!!

This was so easy and really tasty. I made them for a holiday cookie contest at work and took home 2nd place... not too shabby! A little tip- Make the chocolate mixture in the microwave on high for about 30 seconds, stir well- saves time and dishes.
