I clipped this recipe many years ago when my like was quite "wacky"! It is so simple (you don't need a mixing bowl), yet so delicious! You can frost it, or not. I usually sifted powdered sugar over the top. My kids loved it! It is perfect when you need to take something to a function at the last minute. No clean up!
