Another winner from Pastry Queen Parties. I've made three batches in the past week and these went over great with everyone who tried them. The author says you can actually make these without any fresh peaches at all, and I did that for one batch because my peaches weren't ripe, but please try to get some fresh ones if you can. They bring this recipe into new heights of deliciousness! I can't believe I'm saying this, but you won't even miss the chocolate.
Cookbook Note: Most of these recipes make very generous quantities. They are for parties after all!
