S
This sounds delicious! I'm making it this weekend.
Have you, by any chance, figured out the SP for it? I guess since ingredients can vary from what you bought that I should figure it out myself based on what I get. Looking forward to this!
Sue Turner
Oh gosh, I just looked again and saw you have the SP on there. So sorry!
Drizzle
No worries.. I hope you enjoy it 🙂
