I was honored to be the Project Advisor for a lovely young lady for her Gold Award Project which she completed this past summer. Also, I was a Brownie Scout and a Girl Scout when I was growing up. I have enclosed a recipe for you to use if you would like, I have been making this for several years, I adapted it from a recipe I gogt from a friend.
