I have been casually searching for this recipe for a long time! I had them at a party probably 20 years ago and asked the hostess for the recipe. She just sent me ingredients and not much more. Can't wait to try!!! -
FYI, this is a word-for-word recipe from the June 1998 edition of Southern Living magazine. I still can't wait to try it :) -
I make this same recipe exactly. It is an awesome recipe. Everytime I make it as an appetizer for parties it is a huge hit. I am surprised no one has tried it yet.
