Happy Holiday.

    • I can’t tell you how many years I struggled with peanut butter until I read that tip. I actually used a spatula just to avoid it! I am glad you liked the recipe. Have a happy weekend.

    • This just happened to be a trifle I threw together for a party I forgot about. Everything was leftovers from the kitchen and it took no time at all other than to chill the pudding! Thanks Florence. Happy Holiday and Merry Christmas.
