These were so simple to make and my husband was thrilled with the ooey-gooey marshmallow surprise! I didn't change anything in this recipe except to use butter in place of the margarine (I don't normally use margarine). I also cheated and used the canned frosting which made these a breeze to make. I'm sure he'll be asking me to make these again! Thanks, Linda!

Hi,
My name is Linda Timm and I live in Matamoras, PA.
I love to cook and bake, especially breads, sticky buns, muffins, cookies, and when my grandmother was alive, I followed her around the kitchen many times watching her make things. Getting a recipe from her was very difficult as she never measured anything, but it all was so delicious!!!!!!
There was never a time that I didn't walk into her house and smell homemade bread, or pies. SHe came from Switzerland.
