Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Looks pretty doable. Your arms will be tired from mixing that much dough unless you have a very large capacity mixer!! Ha Ha! Want to be reallllly evil?? How about mixing in some chopped Brazil nuts or toasted hazelnuts??? Janis , jplynch <jplynch wrote: > > Could this recipe be scaled up?
