Taffy Apple Pizza - love it, love it, love it
I do this at home and at shows; however, when I do it at home I end up eating it all - not so good! I just can't help myself. It's a great fall demo. I use peanut butter cookie dough instead of the sugar cookie dough (if I can find it at the store).
Taste - 10
Presentation - 10
Show recipe - 10 (works great and uses many products)
Did I mention I love this recipe!?!

Is Taffy Apple Pizza in a book? I remember this from a show I went to years ago and would love to have it again!The Taco Ring is my absolute favorite I think. It's super easy to make, looks and tastes great! We make it at home a few times a year.For shows, people love the Warm Nutty Caramel Brownies! They're easy to make, taste amazing and shows tons of products.

I like...
Touchdown Taco Dip
Spinach and Artichoke Dip
Chipotle Chicken Cornbread Cups
Strawberry Cream Trifle
Warm Nutty Caramel Brownies
Chicken Tortilla Casserole
Chicken Club Crescent Wreath
I actually found a 8x8 scrapbook at Big Lots for $4 and it is super cute. It has different words on it like " savory, delicious, spicy, sweet, etc" so a friend of mine and I brainstormed and decided it would be great to digitally scrapbook some of my favorite PC recipes and put them in this scrapbook. Then I can take this to my shows for guests to look over. If they see a recipe they just HAVE to have, then I will have black and white copies of them in the plastic sleeve behind the scrapbooked page for them to take home!

My new favorite PC recipes are the:
Brown Sugar and Mustard Brie and the
Satay Chicken Pasta Salad
My kids love to eat the :
Chicken Club Brunch Ring
Taco Ring
I maks so many recipes that I'm not sure which ones are PC anymore. I am always trying new recipes, too, so I'm not sure what to pick.
I haven't made the Toffee Crisp things in a while from one of the old Stoneware Sensations books, but those are really good with graham crackers, cooked butter and brown sugar, and chocolate chips with sprinkled chopped almonds on top.

Pepperoni Pizza Twist
1 package (3.5 ounces) pepperoni slices, diced
1 can (3.25 ounces) pitted ripe olives, drained and chopped
2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 garlic clove, pressed
2 packages (11 ounces each) refrigerated French bread dough
1 egg
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning Mix
2 tablespoons (1/2 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 can (15 ounces) pizza sauce, warmed (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Dice pepperoni. Chop olives using. Snip parsley using kitchen shears. In a bowl, combine pepperoni, olives, parsley, mozzarella cheese, flour and garlic; mix well.
2. Place bread dough, seam sides up, on smooth side of a cutting board. Using a knife, slice each loaf lengthwise, end to end, cutting halfway through to center of loaf; spread open flat. Lightly sprinkle additional flour evenly over dough. Using a baker's roller, roll dough crosswise to a 4-inch width, creating a well down center of each loaf.
3. Spoon half of the pepperoni mixture down center of each loaf. Gather up edges over filling, pinching firmly to seal. Place loaves, seam sides down, in an "X" pattern on a rectangle stone. Crisscross ends of dough to form a large figure "8," keeping ends of dough 1 inch from edge of stone and leaving two 1 1/2-inch openings in center of twist.
4. Separate egg over small bowl. (Discard yolk or set aside for another use.) Beat egg white and seasoning mix; lightly brush over dough. Using serrated bread knife, cut a 3-inch slit in each of the top sections of the twist to reveal filling.
5. Grate Parmesan cheese over loaf. Bake 30-32 minutes or until deep golden brown. Remove to cooling rack; cool 10 minutes. Cut into 16 slices. Serve with warm pizza sauce, if desired.
