I grabbed this recipe a LONG time ago at the grocery store, it got shoved into my cookbook and I forgot about it. When it was my Friday to bring lunch to work I decided that these would be perfect to bring.
I personally didn’t think these were awesome, but my co-workers seemed to enjoy them, and Adam brought the extras to work and they were eaten. I thought the crust or bottom was too soggy.
