I've been making these since I was a little girl, so I have no clue as to where this recipe originated, but they have stood the test of time! Still one of my favorites. Only problem is, I have to give a lot of them away or I will eat them one after another! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! (photo from bing images)
