Notes
Prep Ahead of Time - Once they have cooled you can keep them in an airtight container for about 2 days at room temperature and up to a week in the fridge.
Freezer - After they have cooled completely you can wrap each one in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bags, press out as much air as you can, and you can keep them in the freezer for 2-3 months. Option to make a double batch - enjoy some now and some later!
Serving suggestion - These go great with grilled ribs, easy slow cooker chili or they also make the perfect Thanksgiving side dish!
Toppings - they are so yummy that you could eat them by themselves but if you want to bring them to the next level - cut them in half and add a little honey, ghee, or butter on top!!
