Does anyone have a picture of these or know which cook book might have a picture? Or the Double Chocolate Profiteroles, either one... am just trying to picture how they'll look making them in the MMP... I am looking for a finger-type dessert for my Super Bowl Party... just something small and sweet and of course, something Pampered! Are these good? Or are they more like a breakfast/brunch sort of thing?
 
The recipe and pics ar ein the SB Spring/Summer 2006 page 24 & 25
They are great and easy to make!!! I would even fill them by adding one our Sweet Sprinkle in the filling!
 
They are good anytime! Yummm! They are perfect as a brunch item or a dessert....
 
I've been thinking about these lately too....mmm mmm good!
 
Yumm. They always look like a lot of work went into them. Little that people know, they're easy! I wanted to make something for our staff meeting Tuesday. I think I'll make these.
