The author writes: - This recipe is asked for at every family gathering, everyone loves it and they go fast, worth the time it takes to make them. I only have one problem when I make these, my husband and kids eat almost all of them before we get to the gatherings. You will most probably have to make more than one batch, trust me! Husband and children eat them like cookies with milk.
