Scrumptious! I have prepared these for the last 3 years at Thanksgiving...after the first year, everyone requested them for any holiday get together and then just whenever someone wanted something delicious to eat! I have taken to parties and have been asked for the recipe time and time again. This is quick and easy to make. I like to add pecans to half of the recipe for those who like nuts! Try it - you'll love it!
