Without going into a lot of detail too many cherries were put in to the recipe so it never stuck together. If I add more vanilla cookie crumbs do you think it would absorb the liquid that is preventing these ingredients from sticking and forming a log? Just a thought .. the amount of ingredients in a recipe is there for a reason--agreed?

These look like little fruit cake logs. I happen to LOVE fruit cake and can't wait to make these!

We do not like raisins. Since there are nuts in it already I am putting in chocolate chips in substitution for the rasins .

Thank you Joy for sharing that it is a bit "sticky"...so I wonder if when you just take them from Fridge if ya sliced up the roll in serving size pieces and flipped those in confectioners' sugar if that would help? Just a thought. :-)
