Very Good! I halved the recipe and used white donut peaches from my tree and bourbon. This year my peaches turned out a little starchy and not as sweet and this recipe made them taste 100 times better. -
This is wonderful! I made it for a dinner party and received many compliments. My 1/2" clumps turned out to be 1/2" flat circles. It gave a beautiful look to the topping. I just pressed small portions of the topping mix between my fingers and placed them on top of the peaches until it was completely covered.

I am 29 and a stay at home mom to 3 kids, 2 little girls with a sweet little boy sandwiched in between. I love to decorate cakes and make other sweets. I also love cooking healthy fresh whole food dishes, I have to balance out the sweets somehow. On Saturday evenings we entertain friends and try new recipes out and have a big meal together and enjoy the joy that comes around when good food and good company combine! I watch a little boy during the week and my husband works with his father in the family HVAC business. We love to tackle home projects and my husband usually gets the pay off with a really yummy meal. I write and do a little bit of artwork but most of it is translated into cakes now. We love to spend time outside and manage to have a small garden in the backyard that we can eat out of during the summer. I think it would be awesome to have some chickens for eggs and as pets but the neighborhood doesn't allow it so we will have to wait till we move back into the woods again.
