I was in a bakery last week when a sign on the display caught my eye. The sign read  “Swiss Rolls.” Looking at that sign immediately brought me back to my parents’ house and into their kitchen.

Swiss Rolls were one of my favorite childhood treats. Although my mom never bought them from a baker; our Swiss Roles came in a Drakes Cake wrapper. They were, essentially, Yodels on steroids. It was a large chocolate cake roll filled with vanilla cream and covered in chocolate icing. It was always a special day when my Mom brought home Swiss Rolls.

What was your favorite childhood treat?
