I made this dish twice so far. The first time I made it for my husband and then my brother Michael requested them for his birthday. I made them at home and brought them up to his college and we ate in his dorm. For desert I brought him cupcakes from Mr. Cupcakes in Clifton. He loves peanut butter, so I got him PB&J cupcake, PB&Fluff cupcake, PB& Banana cupcake and Pumpkin cupcake. They were delicious!
