Fantastic! It was the hit of my superbowl party! Easy and quick to make. Everyone thought I spent all day on them.

Made them for dinner using a star shaped cutter and served with a salad. Easy and they tasted great! Pointed ends on a star cutter had the potential to burn, but I took them out just in time. Next time I would bake them for 10 minutes instead of 11.
