Using Jolly Ranchers is a really neat idea. I want to give these a try.
These are so cute. What a creative idea!
these are so pretty. They also sound yummy.
These are so pretty, and a good way to use those Jolly Ranchers. It would be fun to make treat bags with these cookies.
These are so cute! It doesn’t look that hard and breaking up the Jolly Ranchers into pieces would be cathartic. Haha! It would be fun experimenting with different colors and themes. Definitely loving this idea!
This recipe looks very tasty. Thanks for sharing!
