I tried to make the Cannoli for the first time ever. They came very good however i added a few twists to the recipe. I did not use the canded fruit or mint (as i do not like them) but instead used small chocolate flakes. The overall result was still great as everybody enjoyed them. By the way it is good to know that it did not take me 20 mins but 50 mins, however i am still a beginner in cooking.
