I didnt like these at all. The texture is weird and I'm not tasting anything good.

You can put the wafers between 2 sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap and use s rolling pin to
crush them..it makes clean-up time easier!

This is a favorite among the family. They insist I bring these to Grandpa's house every Christmas Eve.
