This is so much easy to make then you’d think. It’s one of my most popular recipes and I get requests for it all the time. When you serve this at your next gathering your guests will think it’s delicious!

I made this the other day when we had friends over and everyone thought it was amazing! This can also make a great homemade Christmas gift. Homemade gifts are the best because they are made with love.

I hope you enjoy this recipes as much as we did.
