This is called several different names. I copied it from a teaching guide that went along with 3rd grade science, animal species, cooking projects and that's what it was named.

It was one of my kids (and students) favorites, easy to make and YUMMY to eat! I always tried to make it when I knew the odds of leftovers would be slim or I'd be sneaking handfuls at every opportunity
