Five stars for the real thing. I'm actually baking these to store in our earthquake survival kit - but the kids are enjoying munching on them.

LOL :) I wonder if this recipe is the same my great grandmother used to make us kids; she called 'em "Boards" and they were about that hard, but my sis and I enjoyed eating them. Iirc, we dunked them in milk.
