Here ya go ladies!

This is one Mom makes for us all the time. Word of warning......it'll keep you sneaking in the kitchen just to sneak some bites!

Well for some reason it would not let me upload this recipe, says the bites are bigger than the upload allowance. So I tried putting it on Photobucket. Hope it turns out so you all can read it. I'll give it a try.
