I was given this recipe by a friend over 20 years ago. It's been a hit where ever I take it. One year, I was trying to get too many things done and i confused the amounts for the sugar and spirits and did 1/2 Cup sugar and 1 Cub spirits. No one complained that they weren't sweet enough. I often do 1 bowl of each Bourbon and Brandy versions.
