My sister got this recipe from an Italian family 20 years ago. She and my mom made it several times - FANTASTIC!! I, myself, have not made them yet, but when I do, I will try to replace the Crisco with Coconut oil (when it is in the "soft" stage in the Spring). I don't think that the coconut oil will work in the liquid or very hard stage that it reaches in the cold winter. I just don't like the idea of using Crisco. But it DOES taste delicious in the recipe. I just think coconut oil might be better :)
