That's a good line Carolyn!
The Tuxedo Brownie Cups are also fabulous and will dissappear so fast! I always sell the EAD, tart shaper & microplane when I take these to a show. I grate chocolate over them with the Microplane - adds a little special touch. (also pretty if you grate chocolate over your SA plate or tray first)

In the last week I have made Chili Verde Dip 3 times! All the folks in my neighborhood usually end up at our house to play cards or watch movies (it is a very small cul-de-sac in a small gated community-military family housing at it's best!) and it is a favorite!
So that and the Double Chocolate Mocha Trifle. I make those and my friends are putty in my hands!! LOL!!
