Pillsbury Bake Off Magazine! Not the grand prize winner but in my eyes it is, it is. Years ago I lost this recipe & emailed Pillsbury. They not only emailed me the recipe but sent it to me through snail mail. You can freeze these, wish I had known that years ago, due to I gave way too much away. I love these, & LIKE them better...
