It was a big , huge hit at our cook out last night. Everyone had seconds so I had to cut the remaining slices smaller! I had all the ingredients except for the marachino cherries and so I left those off since I didn't want to go out just for those. Definately a do again.

I made this over the weekend and it was a hit. Cought my husband sneeking seconds. Not a crumb left. This is a family favorite now.
