"This is a recipe that my godson complains about. I make it for Christmas and he complains that it shouldn't be just for Christmas! Like most of my recipes it is simple and usually a crowd pleaser. My coworker brought the empty tin to my desk and said "No More!!!!" because she found them irresistable."
