The strawberry Amarettos are very easy to make. But if you want to mix it up and do something else you can. Just remember that those recipes include all the products you got in your kit, while others may have other things that you wont be able to demo.GOOD LUCK

just remember, no matter what you make... have fun!!! that's the most important thing i've learned. people will forgive mistakes, even if you burned all the food, just make sure you're having fun.

having said that.. i made the strawberry amaretto pastries the other day and they were SUPER easy and really good. i'd go with that if you're looking for something easy to not stress about.

i know can you imagine me being nutty? lol and you barely know me... imagine what my friends think. lol. yes i used rolo's. a lot of people dont like them but i personally love them with or without brownies. it's a matter of preference. i was going to try them with the caramel kisses but couldn't find them.

The pastries are wonderful and easy.

You can make whatever YOU want!!

Always practice a recipe at home before you do it in front of people at a show. That's my motto anyway and makes me feel more prepared.

Plus, then you aren't lying when you tell them that "I love this recipe! It's so tasty!"
