Grandma Mottle's Blarney Stones

Grandma Mottle's Blarney Stones

Every St. Patrick’s Day when we were growing up, my grandmother would have us over to make Blarney Stones, pound cake cubes dipped in frosting and rolled in dry roasted peanuts. This became a tradition we considered part of our Irish family heritage.
