We LOVED this recipe--so easy!! I used only 1 lb. beef and chose sweet onion over green onion, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I was tempted to throw in extra stuff because it seemed "too easy"...but I didn't, and it was delicious just the way it's written! Excellent reheated, too (I'm eating the leftovers now)!

This is one of my all-time favorite recipes! I've gotten the best reviews from friends and family when using cheesecake and white chocolate-flavored puddings (instead of plain or french vanilla), and the "Satiny Chocolate Glaze" from this site is absolutely delicious when spread on top. I also make these with lemon-flavored pudding and sprinkle them with powdered sugar. For variety, I usually divide the ingredients for the filling in half and mix up two different bowls of filling, using two flavors of pudding. Adding extra vanilla extract to both the cream puff dough and pudding mixture really helps to get rid of the "eggy" taste and mask the "boxed pudding" flavor so that the filling tastes like it was made from scratch. Thanks so much, Shellie!

what a fun recipe! i made half a batch this afternoon, and the rice cereal/sprinkles add the perfect level of crunchiness...what's more, the presentation in the jar is so much more interesting than the other jar cookie mixes i've seen (i made the cookies straight from the recipe this time, but i'll likely give these as gifts in jars next holiday season). i used margarine instead of butter as a matter of preference, but i didn't mess with the other ingredients/quantities at all! thanks!!
