this is a very good recipe. I took it to our Christmas department party and it was a hit. Coworkers asked for the recipe. One coworker wonders about the recipe at the top stating 36 servings but if you refrigerate it for 4 hours your yield will be 4 dozen. ???? but hey it is good!!<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"12\/16\/2009 12:40","GUID":"093f7ce10ca2428699cb582ba9319251","MemberId":3660906,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"jcurl","SubmittedDate":"12\/16\/2009 12:40"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"11\/13\/2009 17:11","GUID":"668c7f2b6d354889af3486f3cd5be8e1","MemberId":1006921,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"lwhitneysmith","SubmittedDate":"11\/13\/2009 17:11"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"04\/02\/2009 14:16","GUID":"b64a049992b04bdb8238d8bb731ae8e2","MemberId":3790128,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"teri396","SubmittedDate":"04\/02\/2009 14:16"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":18,"DateRated":"01\/24\/2009 14:01","GUID":"dd9677fb80fb45289960ef9a0efb1f14","MemberId":1234530,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Madge 6","SubmittedDate":"01\/24\/2009 14:01"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"11\/25\/2008 15:37","GUID":"21BE33E06B632E2E7F13DBF7ECF19DA6","MemberId":168936,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"mickie11j","SubmittedDate":"11\/25\/2008 15:37"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":20,"DateRated":"11\/21\/2008 19:10","GUID":"54B7346A0DC04336BFCDDAD05217F87A","MemberId":3533582,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"ch08","SubmittedDate":"11\/21\/2008 19:10"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"12\/19\/2007 13:07","GUID":"7d17cf0d02a846c5aa9e4d0e247f59b9","MemberId":1039113,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"amberrd","SubmittedDate":"12\/19\/2007 13:07"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":22,"DateRated":"12\/22\/2006 22:16","GUID":"15CE26E620DD486BBA3DB901BD0A6A37","MemberId":933379,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"sonyamom","SubmittedDate":"12\/22\/2006 22:16"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":309177,"name":"Recipes","slug":"recipes","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":309112,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Browse Taste Recipes recipes by course, cooking style, cuisine, ingredient, holiday and more categories to find a new family-favorite recipe.","parent":0,"count":50832,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/"},{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
