The bottom part has the right texture and taste is not far off from Reeses but I would try this with milk chocolate next time. Semi sweet was too bitter.. unlike most pb cups.~ just noticed I was to add 4T peanut butter to chocolate chips. (I had misread and added regular butter to the chips) That might help. I will try this next time or go milk chocolate.

Babe Ruth Bars

Reviewed: May 11, 2010

These were really good. I didn't have semi sweet chips so used milk. Also didn't have peanuts so used roasted unsalted almonds. Because of the milk chocolate these needed melted chocolate on top to have a stronger chocolate presence. Also I imagine that peanuts would be even better than the almonds in this recipe. I will try again sometime following the recipe as stated. Very yummy.

Grandma's Tomato Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 12, 2009

I was skeptical. How could something with so few and so simple ingredients taste great. It was soooo good. It was comfort food indeed. Usually I spice things up but it is more comfort food this way. It is simple and it tastes simple but was really good that way! Thanks

French Baguettes

Reviewed: Sep. 11, 2009

I wasn't impressed with these at all. I followed the recipe exactly. I make bread alot and these really didn't taste good.I will not be making these again. The only thing I liked was how easy they were to make.

Baked Potato Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 8, 2009

This was wonderful. I didn't follow to a T... I made adjustments for health. I tripled the recipe and only used 1/2 the amount of 1/2 and 1/2 called for, no salt, didn't cook bacon or saute in fat. I also added 2stalks of chopped celery to the onion/garlic and boiled the potatoes in plenty of water and added some bullion cubes to the liquid when it was done because I had no broth. I had some real bacon bits (less fattening that traditionally cooked bacon)to top at the end and slightly sprinkled some cheddar on top. It was perfect. Doesn't need all the fat to taste terrific. Thanks for the great recipe!

Chicken Stew with Dumplings

Reviewed: Sep. 4, 2009

I had a cold and wanted some chicken pot pie but didn't have a car so searched under chicken thighs because I had them clicked on ratings and found I had all the ingredients for this. Being sick I didn't want to go to the effort of making a crust for pot pie and this truly satisfied my craving! It was so good I want to make it again. I added an extra cup of water because I wanted it alittle more like soup. I will add alittle more next time for this reason. I loved that it didn't use alot of dairy. It did take 1 1/2-2hrs to cook but so easy to just throw together! Thank you, I loved this!

Polish Egg Bread

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2008

My husband lived in poland for a couple years and said they have the best bread he has ever tasted and even at polish restraunts here it cannot be duplicated. I thought I would give this a try anyhow because I love making fresh bread and it looked delish! I followed the recipe exactly (the dough is really monsterous in size) The results were wonderful. It makes 6 large braided loaves and luckily we had a lot of company that night and it all got eaten. My husband said it didn't taste like the polish bread he remembered but it was really good. It makes a lightly sweet bread. I loved it.

Hawaiian Sweet Bread

Reviewed: Jul. 4, 2008

wonderful recipe...no not kings quality. I PREFER homemade bread taste to storebought. I also increase the sugar alittle not exceeding 1c. and substitute extra pineapple juice instead of the water called for. The aroma is wonderful. very flavorful. when cooking in loaves I cooked longer only because my cake pans were a little bigger than those called for.
