Can you smell them? Come closer! Can you smell them now? No!? Then, you must make these on your own because your house will smell heavenly. A bit of work, yes…..BUT not as hard as you’d think! My son and I woke up early one day (before my other son and hubby) and we got right to work in the kitchen. By 10:30 am we were devouring these out of the pan, literally! Quite the weekend treat, indeed!
