This is pretty tasty & so easy to make. I was hoping this was a copycat recipe for the Bambino Huey's served at Boccone's Italian restaurant in San Antonio. It's close, but not what I was looking for. I think I'll probably need to almost double the sugar to get closer to Boccone's version. Thanks for posting this.

That sounds delicious but I believe the commercials for Bambino Huey mentioned they were made with butter, cream, cream cheese and sour cream. If not all four of those ingredients, then a combination of at least three of them. Boccone's has been closed for several years, but I used to eat there frequently when I lived there and always ordered the chocolate version for dessert. They also were for sale at HEB, and I once brought several boxes back to SC after being stranded in the Dallas airport for 36 hours. They were perfectly fine after I baked them!
