Nope, sorry, it's with maple syrup, or not at all! <jk> ;-) This is
Vermont! If we don't consume our Minimum RDA of maple syrup, people talk!
Start saying that we're from Massachusetts or Connecticut! The maple does
add a nice flavor, though; completely different from brown sugar/cinnamon.
End of shameless promotion of the VT Maple Products Producers Association.
<whispering> I like 'em without the syrup, too!
