Biloxi Cavair

This recipe is the result of several different comfort snacks prepared while in Biloxi, Mississippi's Gulf Coast. A group of people from Madison, Wisconsin made several trips to Biloxi to assist in Katrina Relief . The experience was so overwhelming and gratifying, that I had to come up with something to keep those memories alive. Most of these ingredients were used in evening snacks to relieve some of the stress that we felt after seeing the devastion brought on by Hurricane Katrina. To this day, I still prepare it for many different community functions and charity events. The basis of the recipe was adapted from the many Texas and Mississippi Cavair recipes on this site. Particularly, Babs in Toyland's #14904, Thanks Bab's!
