  1. tx nana REVIEW:

    I have been making these since Loretta Lynn and her husband use to do commercials. This is my husband's most favorite dessert. He is always wanting me to make them.

  2. divabaker REVIEW:

    I've used several recipes before for chewies and this one by far is my favorite. Simple to use and they come out perfect everytime.

  3. Joan REVIEW:

    Don't believe it! I just found the original recipe that I cut out of a magazine at least 3 decades ago with Loretta Lynn's picture on it. Never made them for my sons and now I can. If I remember, I used pecans.

  4. Kat REVIEW:

    I have been searching for this recipe for years! I used to make them as a teenager, 25 years ago, lol! Always had requests for the recipe and was always asked to bring them to family functions. I lost the recipe about 20 years ago and have regretted it ever since. Thank you so much for posting!
