I'm going to make them. I could take them to one of our church dinners and they'd all be gone by the end of the meal. Bet my kids would love them too. They both like to bake and so do my grand sons.

If I had the ingredients I might make them for our chili supper Saturday for the chapter. Of course, I love how 30 and 35 minutes equals 9 hours five minutes. I know that's what that said. LOL. Anyway, they sound rather divine. Cindy On Feb 12, 2014, at 9:41 PM, Susan Tabor < <mailto:souljourner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> souljourner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Good evening, good people!
