My party guests thought it was delicious!

Not too minty, just right

A little too minty for my husband and son, so next time I will use less flavoring.

This was so easy to make and tasted great! It was just sweet enough, but not overly rich, so 1-2 pieces were plenty. I will definitely make this again, and I might also experiment with other flavored extracts or syrups.

This was so easy to make and tasted great as well! It was just sweet enough, but not overly rich, so 1 or 2 pieces were plenty. My guests also really enjoyed it. I will definitely make this again, and I might also experiment with other flavored extracts or syrups for the middle layer.
