Thanks ME-Dawn - I usually make pumpkin cupcakes to send Jason for his birthday but I just may make these instead. They'd be much easier to pack, less likely to crumble during shipping and since he loves oatmeal he's sure to love these tasty treats. I figure it's enough Halloween time that it'll be safe to mail them. Should we have warmer temps I'll just have to them there myself :D ( I was thinking of going to Vermont again for his b-day anyway, depending on his work schedule)
