Submitted by Suzanne Mary Katko Katko


About the cook: I'm a middle aged women who enjoys creating dessert recipes, and has entered several into the new York State Fair culinary competitions (for over thirty years). It's so rewarding to receive appreciation and complements from a delicious dessert.

About the dish: I first made this last Christmas. I wanted to combine the trendy flavors of sweet and salty. They're very rich, but you can't just eat one!
