- Comments
- This is a recipe I haven't had the pleasure to try, however my friend said these are really a favorite of her family, and they lived in the Carribean for about 7 years.
As far as how many they make.. gosh, your guess is as good as mine.. but the recipe looks like it might make quite a few!
