I made this for my DH and I so I cut the recipe in 1/2 and it was baked in an 8x8 dish. It was a perfect size. I cut it into 4 pieces. I also used raisin bread and it turned out fantastic. My DH took the 2 leftover pieces to work and shared it for a mid morning snack. His friend raved about it and wanted the recipe. This will be good for overnight guests. We loved it. Thanks.
