    I've just made these and I really don't like them, they have expanded loads and they look and taste rank! I don't know what I've done differently to everyone else :-(

    Just made these cookies with my 2 and 4 year old, easy and really scrummy, the kids (and mummy) love them!! Although like someone else said when baking with kids you may need another tube of smarties, a few got eaten so we had to use raisins in a few ;) Will def be making these again :-)
