We just saw this episode on TFN today, and so glad to find it here! One TFN website, there are currently 30 reviews, average 5 stars, so I can't wait to make these! The reviewers have some pretty good ideas for additions such as crumbled bacon, crabmeat, and shredded chicken. They all say to read instructions first as the butter is divided but the recipe doesn't state it. Thanks for posting the recipe. :)
