These were really easy to prepare, as stated in the intro, and they were pretty doggone tasty too! I *thought* that I would be able to spread with an off-set spatula...HA! After an unsuccessful 5 minutes, I gave up, and patted it out, almost like a pizza crust, filling in the corners, and leveling it out some. They baked for an hour, and looked perfect. I cut mine (with a pizza cutter) into about a 2-bite size, which yielded 48 ( 8 lines by 6 lines, if that makes sense.) Looks like I have a few extra, to share! Thanks for posting this simple, homey recipe, HokiesLady!
