"My mom used to make these when we were little. My daughter took these to school for her birthday, and the kids just devoured them! I'm guessing on the prep time as I don't really remember how long it took last time I made these."

France
I'm an American living in France these past 20+ years. I am a wife, mother, English teacher (in a French high school), vegetarian, big-time history buff, small-time whisky enthusiast, amateur baker, and expert procrastinator.
When I'm not finding creative solutions to put things off that really shouldn't be, I can be found in my kitchen baking treats for my family. I used to bake using cake mixes and such, until I moved to France, where decent mixes are nowhere to be found (or cost a small fortune if you do find them). So if I wanted an American-style dessert, I had no choice but to make it from scratch using French ingredients. Yum! Baking quickly became my favorite hobby and I henceforth banned all mixes from my kitchen!
