This is a treat that Lea has used to create wonderful appetizers for all types of occasions. The recipe was given to her as part of a recipe exchange in the Domestic Arts class in junior high school, where the youngsters were taught homemaking skills, including basic cooking. This has been a favorite in our family for a sweet treat that competes very well with all the usual appetizers, and, it is the easiest to put together with this slow-cooker version.
