  1. I just got done making these, so glad the recipe is on here. I will take a picture and post it as they turned out fabulous...i think next time though I will cut the dried cherries in half as mine were pretty big....
     
  2. The taste is great, but I don't believe I let them cool long enough before slicing. I had a few broken pieces.. so I ate them! Yum, this recipe was in a cookbook my Grandma gave me for my 21st birthday.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>Live and work in the heart of the US - Ohio! I work as a Risk Management Consultant, and I do have to work to pay the bills (at least for now), but my passion is cooking.....and eating with as much variety as I can find. I am incredibly lucky in that my BF will eat anything I cook and will give me his honest opinion. What more can you ask from a guy? Well.....let's not go there...at least not online LOL. <br />We share our home with four rescued cats and two Beagle Dachshund mixes (beaners!). We'd rescue more if I could afford the vet bills. <br />Other passions include my vegetable and herb garden, and BF provides the needed grunt work (laughs).</p>
