Personal Notes:
Mom talked about her memory of Grandma Alice Fratzke making this recipe and how messy they were to make. I was able to get a copy of the recipe from Great Aunt Ethel several years back. :) I have attempted the recipe only once and didn't quite perfect it, but will try to make them again.
