This was so easy, so fast, and so good! Made it for DS and I on a whim as a surprise for him...it was done before he could even follow his nose out of his bedroom to see what I was making! Made two changes: skipped the peanuts because neither of us like them and had to use chocolate ice cream topping as I didn't have any baking squares on hand...but it was still delicious. Thanks for a simple dessert that looks elegant and tastes divine!

Hi, there! Thanks a bunch for stopping by. Before I tell you a little about myself, I'd like to start out with a GREAT BIG Thank You to all those who have taken the time to prepare, review and/or photograph my recipes. I wish I could thank each and every one of you personally, but without PM I'm unable to do so. Please know that your reviews and comments are very much appreciated!
DH and I are semi-retired and loving it! The kids are grown and on their own, so we've got enough spare time to do the things we really love doing. We enjoy spending time with our four grandkids (pictured above), and also like camping, fishing and boating. As a hobby, we're into woodcrafting and participate in local craft shows and community fairs. We're also both active and involved in our church.
