Liquor-Infused Chocolate Strawberries

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2013

The best chocolate-covered strawberries I've ever had! The strawberries were out of season and therefore a tad tart and firm, but the liquor made them seem as juicy and sweet and if it were July. I did reduce the amount of chocolate since it was way too much - based on other chocolate-covered strawberry recipes I decided on 5 oz. and it was perfect. I also skipped the cream, cause I like my chocolate dark. Used the specified amount of shortening and brandy in the chocolate, and injected each berry by feel - no real idea how much but less than 2 tsp.

Crab Brunch Casserole

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2013

Texture came out spongy and the flavor sour. I used canned crabmeat since I had it on hand. I suspect the lump form would not have turned out as bad, especially texture-wise. But bad enough I don't plan on trying to find out. Made exactly as written, except I didn't have parsley so I omitted it.

Apple Bacon Baked Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2013

Chicken turned out very favorful. Apples were too mushy though. There is no need to soak the cranberries for hours - I started soaking them as I cooked the bacon and had it all in the oven 20 minutes later, and they were totally juicy when they came out.
