After I cleaned up the drool from my computer keys after reading your blog, I decided that this would be a great project to do with my son for fun, and it would fulfill a Boy Scout requirement for him. As we made them, the process became, “one raspberry in the mouth, one raspberry for the recipe.” Yum! Making them was as scrumptious as eating them. Although they didn’t look exactly like yours, they were melt in your mouth good. [...] [...] We saw your previous post that showed Nunnymollers.

I made them yesterday as dessert for my sister's baby shower. My own sweet children were less than thrilled that these delicious looking goodies were not for our family's consumption. At the shower, it was quite amusing as the guests asked me what the yummies were called. I told them, "Nunnymollers." A questioning look arose. "Have you heard of Brian Jacques?" I asked? Blank stares. "The book Redwall?" Continued blank stares. At this point I attempt to launch into a description of what Redwall is...but after about 15 seconds of continued stares I settle for, "It's a fantasy series about rats that was made into a cartoon series on PBS a while back." "Oh...cool." And we proceeded to devour the nunnymollers. Back at home, my own kids were THRILLED to learn that I had leftovers and was able to bring home a cookie for each child. I don't think I've ever experienced such verbal delight as they each savored their nunnymoller. Truly, the "Oohhhhs" and "ummmms" were hilarious. In short, thanks for sharing! I'm sure we'll be repeating this recipe for teatime in the not too distant future! Warmly, Tara Julie -

At the official Redwall site from England they are offering a cute compendium of about 20 original songs that are contained within the different story CDs. The Redwall songs made their way into a certain girl's stocking this past Christmas and have been much listened to and sung since then!

We read EVERY book and I am more than grateful that our library carried a few of them on CD! Jacques is clever and he had my son spellbound (I was like you and was caught daydreaming many a chapter :). Thanks for the recipe. I appreciate your blogs (and your book). Keep up the good work. Katie Julie,

I started reading them at two different times and finished the first book. I ended up giving them away to my cousin's son.

If only we could get Per and Liam together! Per's on a major Redwall kick, racing through book after book. Jan was the same way right about this age. And like you, I do appreciate the series, but let's be honest: Any series that's churned out this quickly is going to fall victim to predictability. Not to Per's mind, though. He's right there in the thick of it, living it out. And now I can help him do so even more with a batch of Nunnymollers! I had no idea there was a Redwall cookbook. I suppose with three more potential Redwall fans waiting in the wings, I should consider adding it to our shelves! xoxo Oh, I can so-o-o identify, Julie. If only we could get Per and Liam together!
