These are incredibly good! I was looking for something to throw together quickly and still enjoy warm, as my sweet tooth needed to be satisfied! I sure picked a winner with this recipe. If I were to take these to a gathering, I'd dress up the top with some chopped nuts or a light frosting, as they have a "plain jane" appearance. We will enjoy these again, for sure. Thanks for sharing one of your hubby's favorites!
