ReplyDeleteNo barkery around here makes them.
I remember going "bummin" with my dad and once in awhile stopping at Jansma's Bakery and picking up a bag of them....don't tell mom.
LOL! I think she knows. I remember 'bummin' around with dad, too. We would stop at McDonald's which was a real treat back in those days. And then there was the Dairy Queen in Lansing. I can remember when the whole family (of five) could get cones for twenty-five cents total.
