Made this for the DS to take to music recreation group and it was an outstanding success. I got 26 cupcakes from the mix and didn't quite have enough pecans to cover all so used up the last of some slivered almonds that I had and some candy coated chocolates on a couple. Thank you Ceezie, made May "Farm Cooking".Reply
