It’s been one of those crazy busy days around here (heading out for my son’s Christmas band concert as soon as this is done . . .), so I’ll keep tonight’s recipe short and sweet! Lauren from Gaining Mommymentum suggested this recipe over on the PPP Facebook page, and we absolutely loved it. (It makes a ton.) This would be perfect to have on hand through the Christmas season, and if you’re going to a get together it’s a great dessert to take! Here you go . . .
