I really like this recipe.  I can see it used for a breakfast on the run, or for your kids/grandkids.  I can also see these as a nice dessert for either a lunch box or a small gathering on the deck.  Yes it could make you feel like a kid again.

If you would like to grab any of the Tupperware pieces used in this recipe, you can always shop at my Tupperware site, any day or night (or holiday).

Personally I love the Power Chef and use it many times a week.  Have a question, let me try and answer it for you.
