If your hubby is like mine, you are doomed. They look yummy so I can see why it is so hard for him to stay away. I once made 2 batches of cookies and put them in the freezer. My husband found them in hours and ate them all over a week. Oh well, he enjoyed them.

I think all hubbies are the same. Last week I made some fruit rolls, the ones made in empty fruit tins. I made them with splenda because of our diabetes. Well I could see every time he cut a slice the slices were getting thicker and thicker. All gone!!!!!!! Hugs Marg
