I don't rate many recipes, but this one deserves 5-Stars. My guests LOVED it. They all said it was the best salad they've ever eaten, and commented that it was like eating dessert before the dinner. I agree, it's one of the best. I made it for the first time three weeks ago, and decided to make it for family at Thanksgiving. I made it just as the recipe said, without altering a thing. I recommend it to anyone for any meal. You may want to put the dressing on the side, because you'll want to eat this one for days afterwards.

I don't mean any disrespect, but I really didn't like this recipe at all. I had much bigger expectations. I made 3 batches for 12 pint jars, and every one was disappointing. I think there's too much of the powdered milk, and not enough sugar or chocolate. In the end, I could have just wrapped up a box of Nestle's Hot Cocoa, and it would have tasted better. Sorry. It just wasn't for me.

I have been using this same recipe for the past 3 years without changing a thing. A couple of batches have not been firm enough, but it was because I didn't let it cook long enough - there is a science, and I found that electric stove present more challenges than gas stoves. I have received so many compliments and so many people asking for the recipe. I look forward to making it every year, and have found myself creating a wonderful tradition for my family. Merry Christmas, Everyone!
