Cover the plantains with the other half of the dough
Roll plantains and dough and place them in cupcake liner
Complete this process until you have 24
Use the rest of the butter mixture and generously brush over plantain

Uncover for a few minutes and let it brown

For the lights, I used holiday collection Skittles from Walmart

Don't fry your plantains too much. This time around I overfried them

Use overripe plantains as they will be sweeter
