Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies III

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2009

I make 1.5 times filling so I can "stuff" them well. Friends and family rave about these and recipe is in demand by those who like to bake. They are delicious eaten right out of the freezer. Thanks for sharing!

Golden Yam Brownies

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2009

I am stymied as to how folks can rate this recipe with integrity when they haven't even followed the directions. Mashing vs. grating is an entirely different dynamic. To customize to my taste, I added approx. 2 t. cinnamon, big pinch of nutmeg, and used almost 4 C. of grated yams. This is a delicious recipe.

Rocky Road

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2009

Mini Marshmallows should be left whole ---stirred in after choc-peanut butter is melted, to give the bumpy, Rocky Road effect. Using Ghirardelli 60% Bittersweet Morsels made this extra good for my tastes!

Chocolate Brittle Surprise

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2009

First time, brittle was skimpy and did not sufficiently coat all crackers. Second time,used 1 1/2 times brittle ingredients called for, making it fool proof.

Winter Fruit Salad with Lemon Poppyseed Dressing

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2009

The use of lemon (overall alkalizing)rather than vinegar is a nice change with the same results, balancing the acid of the sugar just so. We like it enough that I have a carafe of dressing on hand, a bowl of chopped fruits tossed with a bit of dressing to prevent oxidation, and greens with other ingredients in separate bowl. It can last up to 2 days without noticeable deterioration. Thank you for sharing.

Crunchy Peanut Butter Balls

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2009

I have made many many versions of peanut butter balls and, for my taste, this is one of the best. Marshmallow aerates the denseness of peanut butter making the finished product outrageously light and scrumptious! Thanks for sharing!!!

Chocolate Billionaires

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2009

Made once with chopped almonds as that's what was at hand. Delish. Made again with pecans - equally delish.

Smooth and Creamy Peanut Butter Pie

Reviewed: Sep. 28, 2008

Beyond delicious for peanut butter lovers and lovers of creamy desserts! Made in 9" springform pan with a chocolate crust: 1 1/2 pkg. graham crackers, 1/2 C 10X sugar, 1/3 C unsweetened cocoa, and 1/3 C melted butter. Upped the peanut butter to approximately 1 1/4 C, doubled the cream cheese and 10X sugar respectively to 6 oz., and 2 1/2 C., combined with the 12 oz. Cool Whip. Plated beautifully as a quasi-torte.

Coconut Shrimp I

Reviewed: Sep. 28, 2008

Perfect technique. Scrumptious results. A little salt and cayenne pepper were added to flour mixture. The leftovers are delicious right out of the fridge. Wasabi paste or wasabi powder/water rather than horseradish is a nice alternative in the dipping sauce.
