This week, I'll share two sweet and simple treats. When Rachel Ruse of Delphi shares Butter Pecan Delight with coworkers or friends, they always request the recipe. The recipe starts with a boxed butter pecan cake mix, then gets creative. You'll also enjoy my recipe for Cherry Garcia Shortcake. The recipe looks awesome served on pretty serving plates. If you want to pinch pennies, use any brand of cherry ice cream. If you want the full effect, opt for Ben & Jerry's! Happy eating!
