My 13 year old grandson and my 13 year old great neice made this yesterday for a family cookout and they went fast. It was easy for a 13 year old to make and all that got one loved them and went back for more.

I have made these. The recipe I use I believe came from a Southern Living book. These are really good. Don't make them too far in advance or the strawberries will get soggy. Thanks for the recipe.

These are great! The flavor is wonderful, and they are very cute. I bet this would also be really great with lime too. Thanks for sharing!
