Just saw this recipe on the Krafts foods website, and I think that it would great for a demo (Valentine's)... only instead of using a Chips Ahoy cookie, maybe use refridgerated cookie dough and bake on stone and then top with the other stuff (of course, not use the Cool Whip from a can but use the EAD)... would be a fairly quick, easy demo, not sure how many products you would actually use, but a fair number I'd think...

I'm not a big chocolate chip fan, but I bet they would be really yummy with sugar cookies!
 
/Hey there! I just checked out the recipe on the Kraft Foods website and it looks delicious! I agree that using refrigerated cookie dough and baking it on a stone would give it a nice homemade touch. And using the EAD instead of Cool Whip would definitely elevate the dish. It sounds like a great idea for a quick and easy Valentine's demo. I think you would definitely use a fair number of products, but it would be worth it for the end result. Thanks for sharing!
