I found this in my loose recipe file marked "excellent", with the paper all spattered and smeared from use. What more can I say?

I am typing this review for the second time. These were great. We were going on a long car ride and I wanted a yummy treat all of us would enjoy. Everybody loved them, but make sure you have lots of wipes on and for the little ones. I followed the recipe exactly and I wouldn't change a thing. Made for pick 3 chefs June 2008.
