I really love my grandma and miss her so much. This is her recipe, it took my Aunt Shirley a long time to figure it out because grandma wasn't very good about measuring, LOL!
Our family makes them every year no matter what.
Hope you enjoy the photos of my cute grand baby Emma being a little helper!
This is a keeper!
