This recipe was posted on the pinchmysalt.com website; credit goes to Nicole. I was looking for something special to make for my daughters for the first day of school and these fit the bill. They were a huge hit and they made the kitchen smell AMAZING while they were cooking! We left out the walnuts because we aren't big on nuts in baked goods and increased the raisins to about 3/4 cup and these turned out perfectly.
