This recipe, in its original form, can be found in the....um, not sure. I copied this from a church cookbook owned by a friend years ago, and I don't remember which cookbook it was! I made a few changes to the ingredients and instructions.
Took only five minutes to make and it is very good - I am sure the grandkids will love it!
