Taylor - folks I've made this one and left it plain ~ it was delicious - am thinking there are other possiblities for decorations depending on holidays - for Easter - tint SF coconut - use as grass and put SF jelly beans and maybe a SF chocolate bunny. Also noticed that the crust was very dry so added a little more margarine.... Posted to MM-Recipes Digest V5 #021 by "Robert Ellis" |
