Funny... 2 of my team have had problems with this, but I have made it numerous times and never had a problem
 
I have also made it numerous times and never had a problem with it over flowing. The only time I had a problem was in a smaller than normal microwave that I had to hand turn to cook evenly. Well, it still didn't cook all the way even and we had to scrap out the uncooked part!

Great tip though, this is a great recipe to make at shows. It's been my most requested recipe.
 
I never had a problem either, but I always cooked it at 80% power, (I read it here somewhere).
 
Well it's about time! I contacted the solution center about this in Feb. and they sent me a list of questions to answer about how I prepared it and then I never heard anything back from them! I made it 3 times, adjusting the power percentage and everything and always got the same overflowing results. I just gave up on it. I'll have to try it this way and see if it's any better.
 
I've never made it, but offered it to my June hosts and was just warned today by my AD not to offer it because of the spillover issue ... I'm glad this is being resolved because I also want to give it away as a "cake walk" item.
