how many eggs, and how much vanilla and butter? I don't see that anywhere but I am notorious for overlooking the obvious too ;)

I don't know if I missed something or not, but how many eggs, how much butter and vanilla? Hope I'm not making a fool of myself and missed this... Thanks so much, this does sound delicious.

I can't wait to make this this week then go hunt up some pretty jars and decorate them. I am a jewelry artist so this is how I like to package my gifts :) I'll put a pendant or ring or something in a food safe packet in the middle. I've also packaged up cash and coin in sterile packets and ya I do wash the money and coins first just like I do the jewelry just to be extra safe... It's like a cracker jack prize only better prize and far better goodies! Thanks again!
