I wish the holidays would never end. This time of year always brings back waves of treasured memories that give me the inspiration for so many recipes.

I remember winter evenings when my dad would spread saltines with peanut butter and slices of cheese. We’d eat them watching television, tucked in underneath my purple blanket. The more rows of saltines we ate, the funnier we thought we were.

I wanted to make the recipe a bit more sophisticated and make it into the perfect dessert to give as a gift.
