Sweet Dinner Rolls
Wonderful! These turned out perfect. The only changes to the ingredients that I made was that I used bread flour instead of all purpose. When I took them out of the breadmaker, I made 12 rolls and put them in a 9x13 glass pan. Man, they got HUGE! They turned out so wonderful! They had a great flavor and everyone loved them. Thank you so much for the recipe!

Pumpkin Cookies V
These turned out so wonderful. My entire family couldn't get enough. I made 56 cookies and they were gone in 2 days. I tried to follow the recipe as written, but I only had 1 cup left of shortening so I used that and 2 sticks of margarine (well, whatever Parkay is). It turned out just fine, better than fine if you ask my family. I also did add an extra cup of powdered sugar to the icing. I tried "dipping" the tops of the cookies in the icing like others have suggested, but that just didn't work for me. So I had to do it the hard way and spread each cookie with icing. I will tell you though, make sure the cookies are warm when you spread the icing, it makes the icing smooth out and looks much nicer. This is no doubt a keeper. I have been asked to make another batch today.

Crunch Bar
For starters, this taste wonderful. My whole family enjoyed the taste. I did change a few things after reading all the reviews though. I lined my pan with no-stick foil, it stuck. That was the first time EVER that I had anything stick to no-stick foil. Next time, and I will be making it again, I will use the no-stick foil and I will be spraying it with Pam first. I also used Club crackers instead of Saltines. I just thought being a "toffee" taste, Club would work better. I also increased the sugar and butter by 1/2 cup each like some suggested. Well, maybe it needed to cook a little longer because of that? There are parts of it that are pretty sticky even after spending all day and night in the fridge. I think next time I will stick with the original 1 cup of each and see how that works. Also, I didn't have any problems getting the chopped pecans (I'm not a walnut fan) to stick to the top. I used milk chocolate chips and only had to let them sit for a couple of minutes before I easily spread them over the top. Then after I sprinkled the chopped pecans over the top, I just used my hand to press the pecans down into the chocolate a little, worked just fine. Over all this is a great recipe and it has a wonderful taste. I will be trying it again with Club crackers, milk chocolate and pecans, but I will be sticking to the original 1 cup each of butter and sugar.
