I looked at the package...and I have the 8 oz. size. They still turned out great, so I'd say go ahead with the smaller size. I just made these yesterday for the TLC staff holiday party.

There are no established trails on the property, much of it is swampy. The property is best accessed and viewed from the River. We hope to one day possibly establish a little stop for paddlers and possibly a board-walked trail. It is about one mile south of the Swift Creek/ Neuse junction.
