When Mom's best friend and her husband came for a visit she wanted me to make a special dessert that said "Welcome, we're so glad you're here!!!" Yeah, she was pretty excited. : ] So we found this in one of her recipe books and I made it special by melting chocolate chips and piping them into little stars, then I put them in the fridge to harden. They looked really cool! I also piped chocolate on top for decoration and of course, more chocolate!
