  Yummy hun sounds so wonderful. Thanks s o so much for posting these hun. I am saving them for sure. My dad and my brother and I are diabetics. I am sure we can use some of these. Question for you hun. Have you ever tried splenda? That is some wonderful stuff there and don't cause any brain cancer and all of that like the other does. Its made out of sugar but its made for us diabetics. Any way I wanted to give it a plug while we were on the subject of sweets. Thanks again hun, Hugs, Ruth
