Okay so my host for tomorrow night who I thought was MIA now is not (thanks to the phone message I left - hadn't heard from her in a month) and she has chosen on her own (without my input) tuxedo brownie cups and pecan tassies for tomorrow night. I've made them before but my question is this....

1. Which cookbooks are these from? Does anyone know offhand so I don't have to spend valuable time looking through our docs section? I have it in my files and have printed it out for everyone (8 - 18 guests, host has NO idea - don't you just LOVE those hosts) but would like to be able to tell them what book the recipes are in.

2. The TBC recipe says arrange strawberry slices on top (calls for small strawberries). Is that one slice per cup or a whole strawberry sliced per cup (like a fan). I'm thinking a whole strawberry fan would be a little much! I usually just grate chocolate over mine but dh (dear host in this case) wants the strawberries!

I just got home from my new day job at 8:30 tonight and spent some time with the children. THEN she calls back and now I'm scurrying to stick stop sell stickers on my catelogs, print order forms, and pack my crates. Gotta work at 9:30 tomorrow! So any and ALL help would be appreciated.

Back to work I go!

Thanks,
Jodi

Thanks Tasha but I do already have the recipes. I got them from another message board last year. I just don't know WHAT book they are originally in. Thanks for taking the time to link them for me though.

Hi Jodi,I'm glad to hear your host is back and you were able to get in touch with her! The Tuxedo Brownie Cups and Pecan Tassies are both delicious recipes and I'm sure your guests will love them.To answer your questions:1. The Tuxedo Brownie Cups recipe is from the "Delightful Desserts" cookbook and the Pecan Tassies recipe is from the "Stoneware Inspirations" cookbook. Both can be found in our documents section as well.2. For the strawberry slices on top of the Tuxedo Brownie Cups, I would suggest using one slice per cup. A whole strawberry fan may be a bit too much, but it's ultimately up to your personal preference.I can imagine it's a bit hectic trying to prepare for a party while also balancing a new job and family time. I'm happy to help in any way I can. Have a great party tomorrow!Best regards,Pampered Chef Consultant
