Not sure if they're worth the effort. I only made one change and that was to use dried cherries instead of candied cause I don't like candied cherries. Even though I used the tsp of almond extract and my bottle was pretty new, that flavor sort of got lost, which surprised me though you could taste the cherries. I think the biggest problem is the chocolate overpowers the other 2 layers. I'm hoping the flavors improve from sitting overnight so will give 4 in hope that happens. The good news is once the dough is assembled and chilled, they bake up very quickly. <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-11-20","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Wanda496"},"reviewBody":"Really tried to like these!
