For the final 2023 recipe challenge, I made the Iced Spiced Hermits from Baking with Dorie. I've been baking for decades and I've always passed on Hermits, probably because they contain raisins, and I'm not a fan of raisins in my cookies. I decided to substitute currants instead, and that was the right choice!
These spicy bites are like gingerbread in cookie form, and I love gingerbread and all those winter spices. They were easy to make, and disappeared quickly. The next time I make them, I plan to play around with chopped dark chocolate instead of the dried fruit. I think that version would be a winning combination.
Stop by the Tuesdays with Dorie website to see what the other participants made.

These were a winner! They would be good with chocolate in place of the fruit.
These were great with all the winter spices. A new family favorite for me. Happy New Year!
I'd be very into a chocolate-studded hermit! happy new year!
