This recipe came from my friend, Jane. It was always a big deal when she would make these and bring them into work. A favorite of everyone. So, I decided to try the recipe myself and made these for our 4th of July fireworks family gathering. I must say, they turned out delicious and everyone loved them. My daughter, Cara, said they taste like cake and if she likes them, they are sure worth making again.
