Submitted by Chef PotPie

"My husband loves avacados in all ways. Myself, I'm not so keen on them. But he wants me to make this for him for Father's Day! DD is making avacado fudge...sheesh! Anyway, we're giving this a try and also submitting for ZWT4. I found it online but can't remember where. Maybe RecipeGoldMine?"
