"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
My kids have loved these through the years and was one of their favorite treats. They go a lot further cut into the smaller size, but can be made bigger. I have also found that if the bottom crust is too crumbly, I turn it upside down and put the frosting on the bottom to help hold it all together.
