Woohoo! Thanks so much Giovanna! My grandma had the plastic form so I know how to work with that one. My Christmas just got a whole lot better :-)

I just found a source for the mold at Slovak-Czech Varieties, a New York based company. If you go about halfway down the page you'll find a 'Bee nest mould'. Looks like it's 3 pieces, so may be easier to use than the wood one.

I'm planning on posting a recipe for these in the

Hi Michele,

The recipe is slightly different in every family, but always so delicious! Here's one that seems closest to the one that my grandma used to make:

I found a Czech recipe on-line and I used Google's translator to decipher it.

OH! Please post the recipe. I have been looking for this too! I just bought the plastic form but the include recipes just don't seem like the filling will be correct. I would love to know what the filling is.

Oh dear--I'll need to look around. Last year was the first time I made them, and I wrote down the recipe, apparently, in a very safe place. But I'm looking for it, and will post it as soon as I find it!

We can make them next year, Grace--you'll just have to spend Christmas in exotic Portland!
