This was really good! I had just enough stuff on hand for half a batch. (Except for ginger snaps) But only the 3yo and I were interested in it. So I put the rest in the fridge. It loses something straight out of the fridge (and it gains the icky feeling of eating cold butter), but for the last helping I let it warm up just a bit and it was great again.
