I think I made these once or twice at 4238 Spruce, but they are amazing. My grandmother found the recipe in Taste of Home magazine (which is also amazing) and baked them one Thanksgiving, and I was hooked. I'll be making them to bring to Cas's tomorrow, so I just thought I'd share. Really, ridiculously good.
