H Bonnie G #2, I too wanted to have it - so we made it and it is delish! I found it in Kraft's Food & Family magazine and when we finished serving it, upon hearing all the ah's & ooh's I decided to post this but I see you have beaten me to it! We added rum extract to it and it was more wonderful! This is an easy recipe to follow and the instructions are very good. Thanks for posting, Diane :)
