served these on rosh hashana—for the seder–i used this as the “rosh” or head—it was a big hit–i made 3 kilo and they were devoured and i had to promise to make them again–soon–like maybe for sukkot
I love this recipe! And the cinnamon sticks are a stroke of genius!
I agree, give me so many ideas for other ways to use cinnamon sticks.
