December 15th, 2008 by Lynette

Another recipe we received from Carin during Thanksgiving this is sooo good and a very nice surprise since it is spiked with whiskey. Definitely not something for a kids’ party but a good one for an all adults party. I need to archive them here before I forget and of course share it with all our wonderful readers.
