NOTES : Excellent frozen. I have played with this over the years and add 1 t
peppermint extract to the filling at the holidays in lieu of the vanilla,and
have also used crushed peppermint candy in the filling. I have also coated
them in confectioners coating. (Dip in chocolate) I don't remember how many
it makes...my granny never had that on the recipe....a bunch, but they won't
last!
