Notes

Tammy’s Tips

"This recipe was given to me by a viewer. It is so good if you are a fan of nutmeg. It is easy to make, and it does not have to be frosted." If you're looking for a slightly different flavor, try using apple juice as your liquid,it pairs beautifully with the nutmeg for a cozy, autumnal feel!
