I had lost my recipe for these. I had been searching the internet trying to find this exact recipe to take to a 4th of July picnic with my family. I can not take anything chocolate because my nephew is allergic to it so I try to take something besides chocolate. Thank you Narshmellow for posting this recipe. It is an absolute favorite of mine.

I was born and raised in Utah.
I was a graphic designer for ten years for a local school district. I have since moved on but still enjoy doing that for fun.
I love to cook, read, listen to music, craft things. I don't think I really have a favorite cookbook.
But if I had to pick it would be one that was written up by women in the area with home recipes. I think those are the best. Probably one of the reasons I enjoy Recipezaar so much.
