A SPARKLING NEW YEAR’S EVE
I would like to make these, but I am not sure if I can because you said to put them in the oven at 400 for 5 minutes then down to 350. With my oven, I can put it at 400 but then I will have to shut it off and put it at 350 and wait until it reaches 350. Does that make sense? I am not sure what words to use to explain what I am trying to say. I hope you understand and if you do, please advise me. Thank you.
