Here you go!WE TRIED IT LAST SATURDAY AND IT WAS AWESOME!!!



Mexican Chocolate Squares
-------------------------

Ingredients:
1 pkg (318 g) refrigerated jumbo crescent rolls
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 250 mL
2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided 500 ml
1 pkg (250 g) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon, divided 5 mL
1 tsp sugar 5 mL
1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced 250 mL


Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C. Unroll dough; place in Stoneware Bar Pan. With Baker's Roller(TM), roll dough to seal perforations (fitting bottom of Pan) and form crust. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to Cooling Rack; cool completely.

2. Place chocolate chips and 1 cup/250 mL of the whipped topping in Small Micro-Cooker(TM). Microwave on HIGH 1 minute, stirring after each 20-second interval until melted and smooth using Skinny Scraper; cool slightly. Reserve 1/4 cup/50 mL of the chocolate mixture for garnish.

3. Place cream cheese, sugar & 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and remaining chocolate mixture in Classic Batter Bowl; whisk until smooth with Stainless Steel Whisk. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over cooled crust using Small Spreader; drizzle with reserved chocolate mixture.

4. Attach open star tip to Easy Accent(TM) Decorator; fill with remaining whipped topping. Pipe 24 rosettes over dessert. Combine remaining cinnamon and sugar in Flour/Sugar Shaker; sprinkle evenly over rosettes. Hull strawberries using Cook's Corer(TM). Slice strawberries with Egg Slicer Plus(TM). Place one strawberry slice onto each rosette. Slice into squares using Utility Knife. Serve using Mini-Serving Spatula.

Cook's Tip: To easily drizzle chocolate glaze, pour into one corner of a small, resealable plastic bag. Twist top of bag to seal and secure with a Twixit! Clip. Using Kitchen Shears, snip a small piece off corner of bag allowing glaze to run through.

For a cooler serving temperature and easier slicing, chill 30 minutes.


Hope this helps, Mexican desserts are known for their mixture of chocolate and cinnamon together.
This can also be made ahead of time.
Good Luck!

Jennie, I'll still take the recipe if you got it though!

As far as how my Open House went? being I sent out at least 200 invites, I only had 6 people show and my total commission was $515.00. So I guess it could've been worse, but I really was hoping for better.
Onto the next adventure I guess... Babies R Us!!!
