These were not only easy to put together, but delicious. I was looking for something quick after a long, hot day and these really hit the spot. I served the rolls bias sliced with slices of oranges and extra mint to garnish and it was a pretty dish. Even the eye appeal garnered an "ooooh" from my 2-year-old who devoured hers without leaving a crumb. She said, "You're a good cooker mommy!" The beauty of it is that I didn't have to cook a thing. ***Normally I don't alter recipes and then comment on them. But, I didn't have granulated sugar in the house so I used honey. Wouldn't have done that if the other flavors weren't strong enough to hold their own.06/08/09

Made recipe exactly as written - although I did refrigerate the rolls for a few hours before slicing. They were a big hit. Great flavor.03/04/08
