This made a perfect Christmas/Holiday gift to everyone in my office. I had started about 2 months prior. At such a low price, I had 24 shipped to my office – that way, I could just hand them out without having to keep count plus have plenty extra for my family and me. These are so yummy!
When my European father was alive he received Aachen printen from from old friends in the Aachen area every Christmas. So delicious and nothing like them in our part of Texas. Now that he is gone I can renew his family tradition thanks to Taste of Germany!
