Dishing It Up Recipe Hop: BBQ Dishes--Four Layer Delight (Dessert)

It's Labor Day Weekend!  The kids get a break from school (didn't that just start?).  The temperature is dropping (those of us in Texas are rejoicing!), and many of us are planning BBQ's with friends and family!

Perhaps you are attending one over the weekend, and don't have a clue what to bring!  Well, my blogging buddies and I are here to help! =)

We've come up with a list of our favorite BBQ friendly recipes.  They include everything from main dishes, to sides and desserts.  Just click through the linky below to see the other recipes!

The recipe I will be sharing with you is a dessert recipe that my mom makes.  My family loves it soooo much that they pretty much make her bring it to every family gathering.
