Colossal Caramel Apple Trifle
Just made this and looks great! I would say that if you are using a regular size trifle bowl, it seems like a lot. I only used half the recipe.

Duck Butter Dip
I love the overall taste of this spread. Either I put in too much salt or the recipe called for too much because it was way too salty. I would suggest tasting it before adding all the sal and keep in mind that the crackers you serve with it will probably be salted also. I will make it again.

Christmas Cinnamon Pears
tried the recipe and it was great. I did combine it with another recipe for pears that used cream cheese balls rolled in pecans and topped with mayo and marachino cherry juice and them topped with the cherry for garnish. Adds that little bit of lacking flavor. Also if you want more cinnamon flavor add cinnamon extract.
