hey Mama, have you made these? what'd you think? Do they have a real "kahlua" flavor to them?

They look pretty yummy

[Mama Mangia]

I didn't think so - but then it's a matter of opinion. We were served these at a shower and they went over big! I hope you try them!

[medako]

I guess with just 1 T. it's hard to get a real big kahlua flavor... I might try them a little closer to the holidays though. They sound "festive"

[Ironhide]

Mmm... anything Kahlua flavored is okay in my book. Now how about some Kahlua flavored ice pops, including the alcohol!

Have you actually ever tried them, Ironhide?

It's usually hard to get anything containing alcohol (or vinegar, for that matter) to freeze solid in a home freezer.

But I like the idea of them.
