Sydney picked this recipe from our "untried recipe box" and everyone was excited to give it a try. The verdict: Sydney, Paige, Ashton and Kendall liked it. Phil, Kaleigh, Keegan and me... not so much! However, we did put huge dollops of Cool Whip on our slices and it was pretty yummy! But... this is our first "fail" and the recipe did not make it into our regular recipe box!
