This is a brain cleanser for me. It's taking me FOREVER to address the middle part of the Pinch tag line. Meanwhile, chew on these. They are so yummy. Doesn't the new woodpecker make them look so nice?!?
They are gluten free and unleavened, the latter being the reason they pop up in markets at Passover. But are they ever sweet! Almost too much for me. Unsweetened coconut isn't widely available, but if you can get your hands on it I recommend cutting the sweetened coconut with some unsweetened.

I'm not sure what a woodpecker is, but I wanted to comment on how beautiful this photo is! Yum!!
you have dated yourself, my young friend!!
it's a flintstones reference - the woodpecker pecked out the pictures from inside a stone camera in the title sequence (I think it was the title sequence).
my woodpecker is a snazzy new nikon, compliments of Santa Josh. :)
