These were great! I used a mix of strawberry and cherry and they were both so flavorful. The texture was perfect, not too chewy and not too hard. I will definitely be making these again!

These were fantastic! Great texture, nice and chewy but not tough at all. The flavor was wonderful too, I used raspberry and they came out perfectly tart and sweet.
