    Don't think I've ever tasted anything with peaches that was any
    better!
    
    And the crunchies were splendid.  As I didn't have corn flakes,
    I used the cereal with raisins and sliced almonds, which worked
    very well too.
    
    Thanks for sharing.

    This reccipe sounds yummy, but I have a question - do you just sprinkle
    the buttercrunch on top of the peach mixture the in the bowl?  Then
    to serve, do you just scoop it out of the bowl?  I showed it to
    a friend of mine and she thinks that you break up the buttercrunch
    into pieces and use the peaches as a kind of dip.  We could probably
    figure it out if we just went ahead and made it,but not much time
    for experiementing over Thanksgiving!  Thanks,
