Some of the cake-mix recipes printed on the side of the box are pretty good -- usually moister than the given recipe. Found a REALLY good one on the back of a store-brand [Kroger] "Granola w/ Raisins" cereal box. It makes 5 dozen. [I added chocolate chips, mini's are best for rolling purposes, and would've added nuts, but our church has asked us not to bring food containing nuts due to allergies [the preacher's son].
