Hi swtness, Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
You have just made two little kids and a grandma very happy. I have enough time to go get the Rolos and make them for the 4th.
Thanks again, JoanieCooks
swtness,
My grandkids and I made these for the 4th and actually doubled the recipe, thinking there would be some left for later…boy were we wrong! These were such a hit. Everyone loved them and wanted the recipe. They were GONE and now we will be making more. Have you ever tried freezing them to have ‘stock on hand’? Let me know.
Thanks again for such a spectacular recipe!!!
