I made this a second time in the same cherry flavor. I am fairly sure I was a bit too impatient for the first Ice Pops. You see I am extremely sensitive to the taste of sugar substitutes so I guess I was checking my first batch far too often and they just weren't freezing to the handle enough to come out properly. Second Batch was untouched overnight. 8 servings of this recipe with 2/3rds less cold water makes for 16 Ice Pops with the molds I have. Next flavor I try will be Lime. It is so much cheaper and tastier than what the Ice Cream Man or the Grocery Stores offer in pre-made Ice Pops. I still have to figure out a way to get the Liquid into the Molds without dripping all over the place.

The only redeeming quality about this recipe was the taste. I chose this recipe because the picture suggested that this was a recipe suitable for cookie cutter shapes but upon reading further down, it is apparent that it is not. I am disappointed in the end result (mostly shapeless blobs) and unhappy to have wasted all that butter, sugar, and flour on something that did not come out at all like I wanted it to. TasteofHome should change the picture to resemble what really happens when you use cookie cutters with this recipe.

I've made this twice. Once with plain Semi-Sweet chocolate chips, and the second with Half Semi-Sweet, half Ghirardelli 60% cacao Chocolate Chips and a tablespoon or two of Pure Vanilla Extract. Personally I liked the second batch better, and I even have some left over dough from the three dozen cookies this recipe is supposed to yield. I think I'll turn that into a giant cookie later on.

Holy toledo! I'm not much of a cook, but I'm glad I talked my family into letting me try this recipe. I doubled the entire recipe to yield 8 servings. 1 lb of meat was a bit much, but it was tasty all the same. Next time I'm going to use maybe 1/4 to 1/2 lb of meat or forgo the meat altogether. And I think I'll make the biscuits a bit bigger.

OIrange Pekoe is a term to describe what "grade" a tea leaf is. There is only one true "tea". True tea comes in various grades. White, Green, Black Oolong, and their various flavored brothers and sisters (Earl Grey) come from the same plant, which is called Camellia sinensis. Pretty much every store will have the grade of tea which is referred to in this recipe. One of the most famous brands would probably be Lipton as that is their staple tea.

I will never again buy a boxed mix for Muffins now that I have this recipe. The only thing I found is that there is too much crumble mix for the muffins, but I just put the leftovers in the fridge for later. I will probably make more of these very soon! These are just the best blueberry muffins I have ever tasted in my life. Now off to find more recipes for yummy things!
