Dreampower Animal Rescue in Colorado Springs was making/selling these for a fundraiser at the local Sunflower Farmer's Market grocery store. We couldn't resist stopping to purchase some because we support them. Ours had the addition of beef but did not have sour cream, and were absolutely delicious! - 5/5/12
