I found this recipe on a blog before I became aware of Pinterest.  So, as usual, I copied the recipe, but not the blog it came from.  If someone recognizes this recipe, please let me know so I can give credit to whoever posted it first!  Now that I use Pinterest when I find things on the web, I always know who my source was.  If you find lots of ideas on the internet and want a way to keep them organized, you should look into it.

This turned out really well.  I followed the recipe exactly (a rarity for me), and I'm glad I did.  Dev and I had a piece right after I took it out of the oven and it was wonderful.  We put butter on ours, but cream cheese would be just as good.
