This post is also available in ENGLISH (INGLÉS)
Every year for the Superbowl, Jake gets together with a bunch of friends to watch the game and share food. He prepared this recipe, and split it in half, one with Tequila and one without. Both came out tasting great! He knew about this recipe by Guy Fieri on The Food Network and definitely scored a touchdown with this tasty dessert!
