GG, thanks so much for reminding me of these. I made them with the girls when they were young, but I'd forgotten the recipe. And oh yes, the smell is just heavenly. Hope things are well with you today! Have a wonderful Sunday,
hugs,
Debra

I can almost smell them! What a wonderful craft idea for us 'Grandma's' to do with our grandkids.

This is one of the least messy "crafts" . The kids love it! We usually always make them for the kids/prim/country/Americana Kitchen tree lol. I still have not found time to do that this year.
Blessings, GG

These sound wonderful, GG. I would really like to try them, but I am running short on days now before I would need to be able to 'gift' them.

Do you think placing them in a food dehydrator would work in drying them more quickly, or do you think that would pose any problems?

Deborah Ann~~I love Cinnamon too!
I always have my mini crock going with cinnamon , a few cloves and a couple of orange slices. It smells lovely in the house .

I am not sure about the food dehydrator. I have some still drying that we did on the 11th.
But I bet I know someone who may have the answer....Our Dear Cat, she is an expert and I think she owns a dehydrator, I have never owned one myself.
