Oh boy, my favorite! Your recipe is the same as mine I think! Haven't made them in a few years. Not eating sugar now so I'll just have to look at the picture and dream!

THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING!! These are one of my all time favorites - and yes, there are tons of recipes out there, but none I've tried are the ones everyone else makes that I so love. This sounds like it just might be it! Yippee!! ;o) Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
