sunday surprise (i call them long johns )
Depending on where you are from these are called many things as children we called them Long Johns, the Amish cut them lenth wise and fill them with whipped cream dust with powdered sugar they call them cream sticks and I have also heard them called Maple sticks for the frosting that you can frost with. This is my Mother's recipe, don't know where she got it but it is at least 50 years old.
