As a dialysis nurse I enjoyed many treats brought to the center for the staff to share. This was one of them. Takes some time but well worth the effort. A helper and an assembly line will help. I make these every year for Christmas and they don't last long. You can't believe how good they are.

YUMMY GOOF BALLS

These were sweet, fluffy, flaky and oh so good. They smelled like donuts while cooking! Everyone kept asking "what are you cooking?" We tried baking these too, but preferred them fried (fried always wins!). They would be great for a bake sale, after-school snack and would look pretty on a holiday dessert table. If you want to...
