I found this recipe on allrecipes.com, but I changed the name, used whole wheat flour and evaporated cane to make it a bit more healthy, and lessened the baking time.  This recipe had 2,266 reviews and a 4 and 1/2 star rating!  When I saw that....I knew we had to try this one!  :-)  With a few modifications...they were awesome!  :-)  To view the original recipe on allrecipes.com,  CLICK HERE.
