PRutherford's Review
Made it for an Advent brunch at my church this morning. Everone wants the recipe. Pretty risky taking an untried recipe to such a function but my intuitions paid off. I also threw 24 Hershey's kisses on top before baking. Wanted it to be over the top. I served it with a vanilla sauce. From Pauly Dean. Let a container of good vanilla ice cream melt in the frig.. I added a teaspoon of vanilla to the melted ice cream. Yum, yum is all I can say. Will make it again for the office pot luck in three days. PS....I did use the bourbon.
