Thanks for sharing, this looks very interesting. I'll dig out the dehydrator
and give it a try later this week. I'll have to pick up some mesh sheets
(which I've been wanting to do anyway).
I liked the idea of forming letters. Our granddaughter is 2 1/2 and starting
to learn the alphabet. These would make a fun, healthy, treat. I've already
done letters and numbers with animal cracker dough and double-strength Jello
but this looks even better.
