I have succumbed to the yumminess of this joyous wonder and have made a copy of it. My husband is home this weekend so I think it would be a nice surprise for him. Who know I may even have a little bit myself and not to worry if my Type 2 soars sky high.

We all need little treats now and then, if we don't have them, we may end up binging - been there done that. Question Did you enjoy it? Of course, the most important thing is not to feel guilty.
