Boy, do I have a treat for you ladies! This past week, I tried a new pinterest recipe that is to DIE for!

I was able to get 3 batches out of this one recipe, allowing me to take them to a party, give them to a friend for her birthday, comfort a friend whose grandmother passed away, and even leave samples for my family to try! I hope you sweet gals enjoy this delicious recipe just as much as we did!
