(1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 12 muffin cup pan or several mini muffin pans.

Sent these to school with my little man (using mini muffin tins), for his Christmas party. A little boy asked him if he could have another, Allen told him no because he wanted to take the leftovers home. Bahaha - gotta love him!
