  5. Interesting that you made them since I also made them--same recipe. I made the mistake of telling my youngest who would not touch them. They were delicious and they are amazing if you freeze them!

  6. This calls for "1 1/2 cups cane juice crystals" may I ask, what and where do you get cane juice crystals? Also, if I don't have that then could I substitute granular sugar and if so how much of it would you use in lieu of the crystals? Thank you for your recipe and time.
