Oh, yes-another great recipe coming to you from the PIT cooks! We've got samples at the store that you can "try before you bake" or just eat and say "yum!" The samples in colored bags have no nuts (my fav) and the clear bags have the nuts!
Remember-all your donations for the samples go to The Wounded Warriors Project, helping our guys and gals returning from war get back on track and resume normal lives as much as possible! We appreciate all of them! You are our heroes! We're requesting a donation of at least $1 per bag this week. Thanks for your support!
