"Simple to put together and yummy. My aunt makes these every year for Christmas. Personally, I would use butter instead of margarine (yes, I have something against margarine)."

These are very tasty. The tops rise up as shown in the picture, and get a little crunchy. Thank you for a nice recipe. -
OK, OK, I used butter already! LOL And they were perfect! I love the big batch; there were plenty to share and give away! I also shared this recipe, as there were ladies just gushing over it! :) Followed as written, I will be making this again during the holiday season and sharing with friends. These are great for a dessert buffet, as they are small and easily portable. Thanks for sharing, Queen Dana! :-)

I love trying new dishes. For me, food is a way of experiencing the world without leaving my home, and I'm hoping that as my two sons get older that I can convince them to come with me on my culinary adventures.
