I have made this recipe several times, but this was the first time I used Annie’s barbecue sauce, and I was very impressed, not just with the barbecue sauce. Annie’s makes all sorts of goodies—mac & cheese, fruit gummies, pasta, soups, bunny crackers, bunny graham crackers, regular graham crackers, and tons more.
