*These were a staple at every Christmas, Thanksgiving, and sometimes just for the artery-clogging hell of it. As was the case with many of grandmas Jeannette's recipes, I always assumed it was some long passed down family treasure, only to discover in my 20's that it came off the back of a box. Still, I stand by my attribution.
We miss you already.
