Snack Attack


I just realized the last two posts were named after Drake snack cakes. Linda LOVED Ring Dings, Yodels, Devil Dogs, Yankee Doodles and the coffee cake. She did not like the Sunny Doodles though. Since the company's headquarters is in NJ near where she grew up, her Mommy would go the the Drake outlet store and buy bags full of the treats. Nanny would freeze them and Linda could have one treat a day in her lunch. When the treat was Yodels, she would peel all the chocolate off and eat it first. Next, she would unroll the cake and eat it flat. If it was Ring Ding, she would stick her finger inside and scoop out all the cream, then eat the cake. Devil Dogs were her favorite. Of course you take the top off and lick off all the cream, then put a napkin over the cake and flatten it out like a pancake before you eat it.
