Note: My Little Guy has a fascination with Elvis Presley. He has bought his CD's. Read books about him. I found this recipe over at Southern Plate and knew I had to try it for my guy. When I tell him what it is called he will be all shook up! (Sorry. I couldn't resist!)

My 7 year old LOVES Elvis. I have no idea why, but he loves his music and has his cd's and has watched a movie or two as well. I will have to make this for him. Thanks.
Suzann, your 7 year old should meet my 7 year old. They would have a great time together. I don't know where Little Guy got his love of Elvis, but he adores him too.
