Save both time and money with a big batch of this sweet and salty, creamy and crunchy treat. Any dessert that is left over is super the next day, too. —Rita Winterberger, Huson, Montana

I took this to a church potluck dinner and it was the hit of the dessert table! It was easy to make, but looked like I went to a lot of trouble. Many people (guys & gals!) wanted the recipe. It is definitely a keeper with my bunch!
