    Gross! Made it for my Granddaughter’s b’day and only a couple adults choked a small piece down. Canola oil is way too pungent and the amount of oil and butter screams greasy.

    I'm so glad to find this recipe again! I had it when my kids were young, and they loved it. I'll make it for grand-ones now. Thanks so much. Lyn
