This is a fantastic recipe. Every year I struggle to find a breakfast cereal and/or snack for the family. It is a winner. Very addictive. I have to make double batches to keep up with the family.

This is the only thing my kids will eat for breakfast during Passover. I sometime use different dried fruits or nuts, but it always comes out great!

These are very delicious! It was good even fresh from the oven. A great way to have matzos. Thanks!
