“ I got this recipe from a former co-worker about 35 years ago . I loved them when she brought them to work so I was glad she shared the recipe . One year at Christmas , I made them for my family , and they went crazy over them . The name really fits ! The past several years , I had my recipes in storage and ended up finding a recipe online . It just wasn ' t the same . I finally got my recipes out of storage and made them again last year . This recipe is the best ! I used to make one batch and now make four batches every year for my family . I would be disowned if I stopped making them !”
