I have no idea where this funny name came from but this recipe is a tradition in our family and has been passed down a couple generations and is a real keeper! It’s often my go-to dessert recipe when I’m in a pinch with last minute dinner guests…or for the family when we feel like something warm and gooey. I always have these ingredients on hand and it’s fast. It’s not over the top sweet and goes great with a dollop of ice cream.
Being Grey Cup Sunday here in the city I thought I’d share it with you!
