Are these fall recipes worth the extra effort and time?

Just tried the 2 recipes in the back of the new fall SB. Can I just say, must recipes be so tedious? And when I am in a hurry no less!

Carefully pour batter over hot crust out of the oven....really? ugh!! It did nothing but tear the hot crust.

Hey, I'm with you on some of the recipes. Even the 30-minute dinner cookbook recipes. They have you use like, 20 tools, and it takes an hour to everything clean up

Thanks for the heads-up, I was looking at that recipe and now I know to allow more time.

Ok, back to these recipes. For clarification, I am referring to the very last 2 dessert recipes in the Fall SB. The cashew recipe was a big hit at the event I took them to. The other recipe, the coconut one in my opinion was not fit for taking to anything, lol. However, my husband tried them and said they are fine. I say fine if you can get one out of the pan that looks like the picture in the book and doesn't fall apart in your hand. Anyway, my advice, follow the directions exactly and be patient.

Yeah, I thought you were talking about the recipe for home-made Almond Joy cake. I am an Almond Joy nut.

I'm sorry to hear that you had trouble with the recipe. Sometimes recipes can seem tedious, but I assure you that the extra steps are worth it for the delicious end result. As for pouring the batter over the hot crust, it can be a bit tricky. I find that using a spatula or spoon to gently spread the batter over the crust works best. You can also try letting the crust cool for a few minutes before pouring the batter over it. I hope these tips help and that you give the recipe another try. Happy cooking!
