The other night Kaleigh mentioned that she hadn't selected a recipe from our "untried recipe box" and that she would like a turn. She was thrilled to have picked out a recipe for something that she likes.

Verdict:
Absolutely a keeper!!! EVERYONE loved it. But I'm not surprised. My cousin Janna is a great cook!
Thanks Alison! These treats are a yearly tradition. I sometimes use the excess frosting on pancakes instead of syrup. And while I'm at it, I'll toss in some pumpkin puree to the pancakes. Mmmm... makes me want to go bake!
