Notes
I put it in the refrigerator to cool it quickly. It will take approximately 4 -5 hours to cool if you leave it at room temperature (which is way too long for my family to wait). Makes approximately 3 lbs.
I like to buy Christmas tins at the post holiday sales when I can pick them up for a quarter. This recipe can be divided between 3 small tins and makes a delicious, inexpensive gift to share with the neighbors.
