IF you have any leftovers (which we never do), store them in an airtight container.

This is one of my favorite desserts to make for bible study night or to take to a picnic.  It travels well and everyone seems to love it – kids and adults alike.

Of course, if you are a Trekkie (like my family), this is also a great snack while binge-watching on Netflix.
