Free Recipe: Delicious Veggie Lasagna

[wadesgirl]

Does anyone have this typed out already? I had a few guests tonight who want it and I was going to just post it on my website.

 

[wadesgirl]

Never mind, had a brain lapse but figured it out!

 

[kcjodih]

Which book is this in?

 

[krystle_lj]

I've done this as a recipe twice, and decided I won't do it anymore. Personally, I think it's a great demo, but -

I've been frustrated both times by people commenting the whole time about how you can do the same thing by smushing a rolo on top of a pretzel, and putting a pecan on top.:yuck:
Not nearly as good as the PC recipe - but I haven't been able to counter it successfully - so I'm back to doing the cranberry crunch bark!

 

[DebbieJ]

Yeah, the pretzel rolo thing is popular around here also. I'm just sticking to the bark as well.

thanks for the advice ladies..... I hate it when people do that to me at my shows.... i've never made the festive bark crunch.... does it turn out really good? Does it show a lot of products? do you do the celephone bags with it?
TIA!

The festive bark crunch uses the classic batter bowl, the food chopper, a flat stone, parchment paper, and a scraper. Its incredibly easy and sets up in minutes on a cold stone.

I use the Silicone Pastry Mat instead. When it's set, we just break it apart and eat it. No bags needed. Or, the host provides sandwich bags for everyone to take some home.

I've always used the parchment paper so I can do the quick-set with a cold stone. Do you use the mat over the stone instead? Or do you just wait longer for the chocolate to harden?

I've done it both ways. It sets up pretty fast either way.

do you sell a lot of the pastry mats, deb? i've noticed that people sound more interested in it when I tell them they can do peanut brittle and i'm sure showing that concept in action must help!....

 

[ChefBeckyD]

I use the pastry mat for the bark as well, and this year I've also used the pastry cutter to score it.:thumbup:
I use the flat stone or bar pan under the mat. I toast the almonds in the 8" saute pan to get in a little cookware demo too.

I have also been showing how it can be a great Christmas gift by doing one of the trees in a cellophane bag (bought them at hobby lobby) tied up with a pretty ribbon, and sitting on one of the small Christmas Tree Plates. People really like that!

I personally think that the Turtle Pretzel Recipe is too much for a demo. I like really short and easy demo's b/c I really want to keep my show under one hour. I really like the Toffee Crisps (on the graham crackers) --- oh, I ate waaaay too many of them b/c they are sooooo good.

 

[ughubug]

I made the Turtle Pretzels and people loved them but they are a PAIN to make

Okay, tell me how to do the Rolo thing, because the PC recipe seems to much. How would I get the Rolo to melt before "smushing" it on top?

So, I've been wanting to try the PC recipe, but now I'm wondering, from anyone who has made both "versions", is it worth the extra effort to do it the PC way?

Maybe I should start a poll .

 

[mscharf]

I love them the PC way, they are not difficult to make, I thought the brownie lollypops were much harder/ messier.

 

[LeslieSGI]

I went by the store on the way home last night and picked up Rolos and Pretzel twists (I already had pecan halves). I made about 50 (a whole bar pan) of the Recipezaar version in just a few minutes; the hardest part was unwrapping the Rolos. I'm sorry but their version is WAAY easier than the PC version (and I do LOVE all things PC!).

I'm also going to make some pretzel wreaths with both the white and the chocolate almond bark and the Cranberry Crunch Bark and the modified Candy Cane Brownie Lollipops using the DMMP. Thanks everyone for all your ideas!​

WAAAAY Worth it!


Personally - I think Rolos taste a bit like stale wax. We've often been given those Rolo Turtles as part of cookie trays, etc...and they just get thrown out here. (Part of being a food snob is also being a candy snob!)

I love the PC ones! I toast the pecans first, and then I used Werthers Soft Caramels melted for the caramel. (they firm up, but are softer for chewing.) and I use dark chocolate instead of milk. We are making some today in fact!

 

[ChefPaulaB]

I want to try these, but after reading all of the posts, can't decide which version to try!

 

[AnnieBee]

I just made a double batch, half white choc, half dark, and they are so yummy! I only have a few for us as they are going to be for our teacher gifts and some for MIL and FIL.

I have a few spare rolo's so I am going to try the other to compare and contrast...
