  2. Made these tonight. My family LOVED them. The only problem I had was most fell apart when I took them out of the muffin pans. Thought it was because they were hot, but the fully cooled ones were worst.
    Any suggestions?

    1. If you pack the ingredients into the muffin pan and also spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray they should stay together. I used a small spatula and was able to remove them without them falling apart.

    1. They can be reheated either way, whichever you prefer. If they are reheated in the oven, I would keep them covered and reheat at 350 for 15-20 minutes.
