And oh, wow, that's just awesome stuff. I'm so thankful I found you guys recently! I've already tried quite a few recipes, and they're all fantastic! My hubby thanks you too. He gets to lick the bowls and spatulas. LOL

Do you all use SMBC as often or more often as regular BC? How about IMBC? I haven't tried a recipe for that yet.

I love IMBC which is very similar to SMBC. I interchange it with regular "American" BC based on the occasion, etc.

I use Shirley's recipe for IMBC found here:

Good stuff!
