OK, Wow. I was looking for something to do with the tomatoes and basil in the fridge (I know, an easy combo) that wasn't the usual Caprese. I whipped this up without Olives (just don't have any on hand) and now I have to wait until the Chicken is done. How on earth am I going to keep away from this delectable salad? Maybe I'll put it in the laundry room so it's out of site. I used garlic powder on the bread (no garlic on hand) and a high quality Olive Oil. I can't wait to share this one.

Spray the cookie sheet. I loved these. I think the filling would be fine, but I wanted something more (and my husband doesn't like whipped cream) so I made the Pastry Cream recipe I found on Allrecipes. It seemed too heavy (and not enough) so I made a happy medium by combining it with about 2c of whipping cream (about 4 when whipped). I didn't add the spray until I'd dropped the first one on the sheet, and it stuck. I did get it off, but the others came off much, much easier. I think 3 of them fell on me, but I don't have the most reliable oven. I can't wait to make these again!

I've now sampled my wares and think it was a fabulous decision! I made a 3x batch with the intent to give some away. I used an instant cider pack and a lot of hot water in a big mug with about a shot of spiced rum. I added a bit more rum because I couldn't taste it. I gave up the idea I would "taste" it after I'd added about 2 shots (total). Dangerous stuff! I had my husband whisk the sugars into the butter because the butter was floating and . . I'm a wimp. Once it was whipped it was smooth and almost fudge-ish. Taking an idea from comments in another HBRum recipe on here, I sprayed some ice cube trays with unflavored oil and am freezing pre-portioned amounts for serving to guests. I've never made this before, and only had it once. I'm trying to decide who are the people who *must* get these as gifts and how many I can keep! Update: Don't do the ice-cube tray idea! I've got a gloppy mess!
