My Bake Sale Butter Rings
"They are named so because they're cheap to make, easy to make, taste good, and help to net good profits at bake sales. Just a little topping to the powdered sugar glaze, like a walnut half sliced thinly with a razor blade and strewn on top of the glaze really adds to its eye appeal."

I can't believe no one has reviewed this recipe yet. I found it while looking for bake sale ideas. Long story short, it didn't make the bake sale, so I took it to bible study that night. They ate it all up, and every said it was really good and wanted a copy of the recipe. Thanks for sharing!
