As with most treats, in moderation.

Shouldnt be a problem as long as they are eating there layers pellets

Just dont give them all of it at once heh.

They'd probably like them better with a bit of hot water from the kettle

You'll have to blow on it for them though

Mine have them regularly for a treat (Lidl v. cheap) and although some say it's not a good idea giving them dry because they would swell up in the stomach, I've never had any probs.
