Wow!!!! Check-check bite. But if only there was caramel and orech filling (syrup), then there would be no price at all.

Chek-chek in a frying pan - it’s very tasty, you’ll just lick your fingers! You can sprinkle with poppy seeds or pine nuts, coconut flakes or grated chocolate - it's not for everyone!
