WOW, Bren, this goes in my "keep forever' file! It is great, and relatively easy. I followed the directions, as stated, adding 2 teaspoons of milk (optional) to increase 'spread-ability.' Luscious looking and tasting, I used this for recipe#197761 and it was a smashing success! I may try the 'shots' for Girls Night - bet it is good (and rich) like that too! Thanks so much for sharing, Brenda.
