I was hunting for a new crockpot dessert and came across this one at About.com. It's a recipe that calls for ingredients I always have around. So I'm keeping it for the day we finally get some snow.

1. This would be good reheated for breakfast, too, I suspect.

3. I wonder what happens

If you skip the preboiling step.

You think if I just stirred it an hour or so into the cooking, that would be okay?
