What a terrific tasting square to add to my Christmas tray. The baking was sampled and it was "you better hide them" Only thing I would change is next time around I will make two! Thank you Dotty for another of your recipes that is a winner at our house. We have a Carol Festival tonight so I didn't hide them all - made up a special tray to enjoy when we get back from the Festival, and enjoy we will!

These were fantastic! I made one batch with butter and one with margarine and needless to say, the butter batch came out much better!
