I clipped this recipe years ago and I've misplaced it! I'm so glad it's on the webs site because it is a WONDERFUL treat. I'm making it for my book club on a cold February day. FYI - It's great as is, but I have also had success with less sugar and using nonfat milk.

I love this recipe. We like to enjoy it on Christmas morning while watching the kids open their presents. This will be my third Christmas to use this recipe!
