I went to a friend's house recently and wanted to bring something with me. You will not be disappointed by these. The first day, they are delicious, soft, and oooey-gooey, but the second day, they are a bit firmer and lightly crunchy and, in my opinion, more delicious than the day before. If that's possible.
