In South GA, it gets HOT. As a diabetic, my DH's mother (Nana) eats a little of this to cool down and to raise the blood sugar a bit. I don't know about that. but she's right about one thing. Little squares of this is great to pop on a really hot day. Cut into little squares and put into a airtight container. it stays soft enough in my freezer to eat right away. This is easy to double and/or freeze in individual serving cups for the Holidays. Put the individual cups in freezer bags. Cook time is freeze time.
