What a GREAT way to start the day! I'm laughing right now, as I review the recipe...just realized I left out the egg! Now I wonder how much even BETTER they would've been with "all" the ingredients!? We were out of sour cream, too, so I subbed in vanilla yogurt (Friday is shopping day for me). I also have a very neat substitution, I use "pine-ini" in place of the pineapple .... that is, a pineapple and zucchini mixture (canned) that is JUST like pineapple if you don't think about it too hard. [I'm going to post that recipe right after I finish this review] Anyway...brandy extract works pretty well for rum, too (not being a "purist" helps!). We loved these, and topped 'em off with a mango-banana/leftover-pine-ini ice cream smoothie (for BREAKFAST!?). A great fruity combination!
