"This recipe was passed on to me from my sister. It's a perfect holiday treat for Christmas or Easter. Frost with your favorite confectioners' sugar icing. Sprinkle with additional chopped nuts if desired. These freeze well."

This reminded me of a recipe my cooking teacher (who I adored) gave me many years ago. It was quite similar, however I wish it was a little less sweet.
