    Should there not be a second baking with the filling?

    • Ruthie says:

      Thank you for reminding me… I noticed that too and forgot to go and fix it! After you place the filling back in the shells bake for an additional 15 minutes or until warmed through, then add toppings and serve! These were a total hit at our Thanksgiving~ I’d eat them everyday if I could 🙂 xoxo~ Ruthie
