They're really, *really* good if you heat them up a little before
eating them.

My parents gave me a couple of the little ones for Christmas last year
(I don't know how many ounces, but they were about 4 inches in
diameter).

Really good either by themselves, or with plain vanilla ice cream.

I hope I get some again this year...
