Mrs. Abel's Cream Cheese Twists

 When my parents were newly weds, Bro. Abel was their pastor. He actually married my parents. Both Mom and Dad were very close to Bro. Abel and his wife. My parents have told me countless stories about Bro. and Mrs. Abel and they have continued passing down their wise words.

While out Christmas shopping with my Mother, she recalled how Mrs. Abel always invited all the ladies of the church to her home for a Christmas party. Mom shared with me one of Mrs. Abel's sweet treats that she made for this special occasion. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we have. Mom couldn't recall what Mrs. Abel actually called these delicious treats, so I gave them a name myself.
