This recipe sounds a little different, but is really good. It is also a cute cookie to serve at Halloween.
I added 1/2 C. brown sugar, but it didn't really help the taste. The cookies are very bland. What helped immensely was the caramel topping I served with them, which you can pass off as... you know. The cookies alone have no taste, but with caramel, they are very good!
Read More I was very disappointed in the "taste" of these cookies. The recipe itself was simple, but the outcome was not what I had hoped.

I was very dissapointed with this cookie, they taste awful, and it was a waste of time. There has to be a better tasting cookie out there.

As others have said, this is not the greatest cookie in the world but hey- like a bunch of elementary school-age kids really care (hehe). The effect is what got (and held) their attention. OK, modified the recipe a bit and made the dough a bit moister, cut back on the honey a bit and threw in a little brown sugar. Served in a new, clean litter pan with a new, clean scoop. I also microwaved a few long Tootsie Rolls and stuck them in the Grape-Nuts, and "hung" 2 of the Tootsie Rolls over the edge of the box for that extra-special visual touch. The girls wouldn't touch them, but the boys were crazy about them. I didn't add coconut, or ramen noodles though, that would have been too much for me! Will make again, although for the effect, rather than culinary merit ;-)
I was hoping for a sharp contrast between the appearance and taste. I don't think this recipe achieved that.
I thought the actual cookies were a little balnd as well. But the reaction at my company's Halloween food table was priceless! Next time I will try adding more honey or maybe brown sugar. Email me for a picture of this dish.
Maybe it was just me, but they were a little dry. They had a good flavor though, and everyone loved the presentation
I made these cookies for Halloween, I heard about them from a frined and i Was so excited to make them. Looked Great! But these no NOT taste good!! Im thinking next time of trying a no bake Fudge instead.
This recipe was pretty good. I added about 1 Tablespoon of half and half to make it a bit more moist, and only baked each sheet for about 9 minutes. (Tested this time with just a couple of cookies first.) This recipe was a BIG hit in the teacher's workroom!
The presentation was a hit, but the taste was not good. Too much cocoa I think and not enough sugar. I would only make them again for shock value, not for actual consumption.
i havent tryed makeing these (yet) but they look really look "sick". if u are not down with tthe nkids like i am then u probably think "sick" means disgusting e.t.c but if ur down with da kids like i am u would know that "sick" meas awsome!!!!
Finally something I can entertain my cat-squeamish friends with! Thanks Tricia! I have my mother-in-law in mind for first batch!
