Get out of here, it's only just October you'll be sick of the sight of them by Christmas. ;) ;D ;D ;D
SWMBO makes some wicked ones, deep filled and light pastry, must be the brandy in the filling :D :y Not allowed them until the week before Christmas eve, beautiful with some white Stilton. She  will soon start on the cake, feeding it with Brandy for a month or so before the icing. :y :y :y
