Crystal's Parmesan Cheese Twists

This recipe is dedicated to my girl Kabu's Crystal Kwong (R.I.P June 06, 2000 - April 29, 2012). I was backing up my hard drive over the past week (yes, according to my tech-savvy dad, gotta back these things up every 6-8 years!). So, I came across this really old word document that contained all the recipes I made for her, and things I was going to make for her while she was with me. This actual recipe never made it into her stomach - but it will be going into her great-great-great-great-great nephew's tummy tonight and to be shared among his pack at the park next weekend as party favors to celebrate his 6th Birthday!!!
