I suppose altering the recipe affects the authenticity, but if you're mainly looking for versatility, this recipe offers much of that too. Rather than the full amount of confectioner's sugar, I dumped a package of jello mix into the measuring cup and filled the remainder with confectioner's sugar. Results were great, offering endless flavor combinations. I may even try it with a pudding mix next to see if I get the same results for another easy fix. Will update.

My Amish Friend's Caramel Corn

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2011

This recipe also worked well on my family's traditional "puffy" corn for caramel corn too, same measurements except use store-bought corn puffs (the stuff made similarly to puffy cheetos.) No hulls, and a bit of a different flavor.

Aunt Teen's Creamy Chocolate Fudge

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2011

NO MORE FUSSY FUDGE! I've made fudge in the past and always had trouble keeping the temp right, undercooking and it was too goopy or overcooking and it was just a chocolate bar. DH requested fudge this year so with apprehension I searched AR for the highest rated fudge I could find, figuring if it was rated highly it must be tasty AND easy, right? Even WITH those expectations I didn't expect anything THIS easy and THIS tasty. Absolutely foolproof, delicious, and I'll be giving it a go with flavor variations too. Could not recommend this recipe more highly. Thank you, "Aunt Teen!"

Crustless Bacon and Cheese Quiche

Reviewed: Nov. 10, 2011

Easy to make and a huge hit with my guests. Only con is that it's a little bit greasy. I may try halving the butter next time.

Mom's Ginger Snaps

Reviewed: Apr. 23, 2011

This is the BEST ginger snap recipe I've found, it has to be very close to my grandmother's. I was happy to find they still do well at high altitude (Denver.) I REALLY like the spices used, so I doubled them. It was a wonderful extremely flavorful treat but not too overpowering.

Au Gratin Potatoes

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2009

This dish really did not have as much flavor as I expected. I had high hopes with the other ratings, but it did not at all meet my hopes as a faster substitute for the potatoes au gratin craving.

Five Spice Muffins

Reviewed: Oct. 22, 2009

I missed an ingredient the first time I made these, but the second time they were WONDERFUL. I also skipped the sunflower seeds, but these are great because I can make a large batch, and they freeze really well. Take a couple out of the freezer just before going to bed, and they're a great healthy grab-and-go pick. For an even healthier variety, replace the eggs and oil with a small can of pumpkin- in this recipe, you won't even taste the pumpkin, and will cut down the fat content even more.
