Great recipe! Added some cardamom to it too. - 23 Sep 2013
Great way to use up egg whites. I didn't bother with vanilla extract and they taste great even without the drizzled chocolate. Have made them many times, an excellent recipe. Thanks! - 04 Sep 2009 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
These turned out great. Absolutely delicious, we cant get enough of them and find ourselves going back to the tin for more. I drizzled chocolate on half of them and left the rest plain. Quick and easy to make. A definite keeper. - 01 Mar 2010 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
