1. I made these cups for July
I made these cups for July 4th and they were absolutely fantastic!!!!!! everyone loved them.
One suggestion: the picture of the cup above does not indicate how many ounces it holds. You may want to indicate how many ounces should be in a serving.
When I made the recipe, I doubled it just to be safe, and it barely made 6 cups (using 10 oz plastic cups from the store). I ended up making 3 batches at double the recipe, so I felt like a berry making machine in the end, but they turned out amazing.
Can't wait to make this again! Thank you for postiing this!
