This was our gift to the neighbors for the holidays. I had many complaints at first that I didn't make my usual peppermint bark, but once they tasted these "cookies," there is no going back. They are wonderful! I, too, chilled the peanut butter cups before placing them in the cookie & chilled the final product right after baking. No problems with melting chocolate. My favorite part about these is the staying power! These suckers stayed moist and delicious even after several days(a huge plus when handing out during the holidays!) I will obviously make these again next year.

Very quick, easy recipe...usually stuff I have on hand too. Definitely decrease the pasta and increase the tomato. I added some left over chicken broth to thin it out a bit and make it more kid-appealing. I chopped us some steamed broccoli too, but I feel that it competed with the tomato.

This is a great recipe, but a little on the sweet side, even without the sugar. I put in only 1/6 of a cup of lemonade concentrate and eliminated he maraschino cherries as well as the sugar. I found the fruit slices overwhelmed my pitcher, but I like them in the glasses. I fished the majority of the fruit of the pitcher before serving. I then sliced fresh lemon and orange slices and placed them in each glass and placed one on the rim of each glass as a beautiful garnish. Sadly, they made it very difficult to drink and all fruit ended up in the glass. With these changes I was asked to make this cocktail for every family function. Only after a double batch can put up with my in-laws. : )
