This came from the mag Arts and Crafts and was in their crafty chef section. I have been making this for 30 plus years. What makes this so special to my family, is years ago ,I was taking a pan of this out to our family sitting at the picnic table. My hubs passed me going through the door, snatched it out of my hands and proceeded to put it back into the fridge. Unfortunately everyone saw him do it and he was booed and hissed!
