I got this recipe from a friend about 20 years agoe. It was passed down in her family and she shared this recipe with me and I'm passing it down in my family. My boys loved these when I made them. They did'nt last very long in my house. The amount of servings, I was'nt sure of. So, you may need to recalculat the servings and nutrition value. I dont have a picture to share with you, but they are really good and they stay moist longer than the store bought ones. I hope you enjoy these as much as we have. Ingredients:
