I have made these for a long time as well. Not long after I took them to work I had people asking for the recipe. The funniest one I got was from a friend and co workers wife. She called me from her cell phone wile in the store, asking me for the ingredients etc. They were her husbands favorite. I work at a new company now but will make this over the weekend to see how they go over. Something tells me they will!
