*This is a family that Lori and I became really good friends with while going to college in Rexburg. One of Paulette’s many talents was her excellent cooking. This is one of the many tasty things we got to eat while we were at their house. This is the basic recipe but she said she never sticks to it and always adds something different. She also never makes just one batch of this it goes too fast and it’s really easy to store.
