| These are our favorites. I am afraid if I call them that my kids would run in the other direction

| There was no way I was going to pass up looking at this recipe!
Cow Tongues - that's fabulous.
Gayla - should you use dark molasses or something lighter?
Also, can you use butter instead of Crisco if that's all you have in the house? |

| I use both the regular molasses and I have used the lighter too.
Butter is fine.
