"This recipe is a little different from the others that are posted. My friend made these for Valentine's Day last year and they were such a big hit, I thought I would share. She has also made them for wedding receptions, baby and bridal showers and summer picnics. ***NOTE--they do need to be kept cool until ready to serve."
