I tried four different varieties. One was plain, the second was brown sugar, the third was black pepper & the fourth was SPOG. Everyone liked the plain best?

Not too bad for a first run

Thanks guys!! I did the dry cute with tender quick following bears step by step. It was my first time. I didn't think the family liked it much, but I put some in a bag with end & pieces. It was gone in 48 hours!!!
