wow! I cannot believe there has only been one review in all this time. These are simply amazing; tasty, easy to make and totally addictive.The only reason I discovered this recipe is because I was looking for a way to use up my Liquid Smoke but I am so happy I did. This will definitely become part of my regular bake sale/holiday gift rotation.Thanks for sharing!
