Hey, I used to make this very stuff to bake cookie-cutter Xmas-tree ornaments with my preschoolers and after-schoolers! Indeed, it bakes harder than a dog biscuit; I can't picture even the toughest of piratical old weevils getting much good from it.

The recipe would be better with a bit of butter and sugar, and some cinnamon to go on top. Probably engender a better class of weevils, too. Oh well; Tradition.
