These really hit the spot. We made ours smaller and got about 5 1/2 doz out of them. They are moist and have a great taste to them. I personally think the icing is a little too sugary...so I will be adding less sugar the next time. Other than that...great recipe!!!!

I haven't had these in a very long time. My mother made these for me and my sister's when we were growing up. This is the best and easiest recipe that I have come across for these. I made them for my son's classmates the other week and they simply loved them. I have been elected to make them for the school bake sale. Thank you, Manda, for bringing a part of my past back into my present.

An item from my past! I forgot about these--had them many years ago. My favorite way to eat them is right out of the freezer. Yum. Very easy to make, and the recipe makes a lot.

These are sooo good. I was just so tickled the first time I found these in 2002 (this is a new review) to find them as "gobs." If I want to feel like a kid again — I make some Gobs. They look great at Christmas time with red and green icing! Thanks for posting Manda.
