Notes
Kraft Kitchens Tips:
- SUBSTITUTE: Prepare using your favorite flavor of jam or preserves.
- NOTE: Butter is the preferred choice in this recipe for true buttery flavor, but you can also prepare the recipe with margarine. Stock up when butter is on sale and freeze it in its original carton placed in a freezer-weight resealable plastic bag for up to 4 months.
