"I was looking for a dessert to make for our Easter dinner and came across this and decided to make it and I was highly impressed and right then I decided this recipe was a KEEPER!! I loved it so much and couldn't stop eating it and had to end up bringing the rest of it to work to share....they loved it too and it didn't even make it to 10:00 that morning."
