Notes

Freezes well. Make lots ahead of time and freeze. When you go to that party, simply take desired amount out of freezer, thaw, and people will beg for the recipe! Always keep a supply on hand in the freezer. When you get that urge for something sweet, grab 1 or 2 and you will satisfy that craving without eating a lot of calories or fat.
