So.... hmm... I wasn't sure about including this recipe as I originally only wanted to put things on here I thought were really good. I didn't think these were bad, but they weren't great either. Mainly, they had a sort of bitter taste I am not sure about. My husband swears xylitol has an aftertaste. I have never noticed it but am wondering if that was what I was picking up on in these. Or maybe too much almond extract? Not sure.... If you make them with sugar, and they are great, let me know. :)
