I'm not a big fan of pears, but these twists were actually really good. The spices really balance out the sweetness of the pears.

I had a bit of trouble getting the twists to stay closed. I think I needed to roll them up tighter.

These Pear-adise Spice Twists were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less sugar.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pears. I love how the twists are crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The spices add a nice touch of flavor, too.
