**These little loafs were FANTASTIC!!!! We made them for Macie's teachers this week for Teacher Appreciation Week and they turned out so cute! The great thing is that the recipe makes enough for you to sample and some to share with others:-)

**I didn't have my own mini loaf pans, so I purchased the aluminum disposable ones from Wal-Mart. They came in a 5 pack and were only $1.50. If you don't have the butter flavoring that can be purchased at your local grocery store, or any craft store that sells Wilton products....
