  1. Thank you for the recipe. I made these years ago. My, now grown, daughter asked me to make these for her to take to a bridal shower. I was delighted to find the exact recipe (at least I think so) on your blog.Your way of stacking them appears to be an upgrade from my previous recipe instructions. I felt it was lost in our last move. Thank you!
