Mummy Beeson's award winning Caramel Creams.

I still remember Natalie and I purchasing that giant mother's day card for her at the local 7-11 in Falls Church. She was tickled right bloody pink by it. Congrats on your prize mummy.

Katherine Beeson of Greenfield took the top prize in the Grandma's Favorite
Cookie category for these tasty Caramel Creams.
