    Another wonderful post as this is my favorite candy in the whole world! I was born in Louisiana and bottle fed these - lol! My recipe calls for buttermilk and never seem to have any when the mood strike to make them. Now I don't have to wait - I always have evap milk in the cupboard. Thanks, thanks, thanks!
