Cherry O'Lets

Some recipes are so ingrained into memories that you would swear your mom was the only one who knew how to make that particular food. This is definitely one of those recipes for me. My mom made them hundreds of times for catering events and family parties. The recipe was always sought after but she held this one close to the chest. My dear childhood friend asked for this recipe a while ago so I rummaged through my recipe box and found it in the deep dark corner collecting dust. I regret that I hadn't made them in so long! Thank you, Kari, for reminding me what an awesome little treat these are. I sincerely hope you love them like we do. They would be perfect for a Valentine dinner. Enjoy!

P.S. Like I mentioned before this recipe is being posted due to my friend's request. We love requests. We also love to hear which recipes you tried and how they turned out. Don't be afraid to leave a comment letting us know. We love to please!
