Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
**If using pie tins, this will fill about 6 or 7 tins. Be sure each tin is generously buttered. When you pour the mixture in the tin it helps to "spin" the tin around to spread the mixture.
**This works better as a 2 person project. The key is to continuously stir and work quickly when pouring onto surface.
