Would make this again.
I WILL make these again
I've made these for years. This was a good version, but the one variation I use includes instant oatmeal packets and I cut the sugar in half. My kids love them and the students at my school hound me for them. A holiday tradition. four stars

Was always part of Christmas, except that a whole cherry was put in the middle, and it was called a Cherry Surprise ! five stars
