Perfect for winter day at the beach, beachcombing and watching the kids/dogs play in the surf and sand. Just enough sweetness to finish off a picnic or BBQ and satisfy cravings for "just a bit" or even for the ride home. It is baked in a pan or pyrex dish for easy transporting in a basket. Or, just sit by the home fire and indulge a little! —dymnyno
