Interesting. I've made them 3 times, and thought they were very easy.

I wouldn't make them for a show though, because I found that they do need to be refrigerated for a while to make cutting easier. (the cream cheese layer needs to set up)

I just made another batch yesterday. My DH called me from work at 11:30 to tell me that he forgot that he was in charge of treats for his Team Leaders Meeting at 1:30. He requested these, because he loves them. I made them, and took them in, and he came home with an empty platter and 4 requests for the recipe. :chef:

I told him it was a good thing I had all of the ingredients in the house!

Most of my shows are non demo shows with the recipe done before hand.

Then I think this recipe would be great!

I've been toying with the idea of bringing it for Cookie Exchange Shows!

Just curious, would these double easily and use the large sheet pan?

Guess I'm trying these this weekend. I think you had also suggested the pineapple upside down cake. Still trying to find a good time to try that. Maybe I'll bring it to my inlaws on Sunday. Sort of have to get my recipe choices out to my hosts!

By the way is it white almond bark or chocolate almond bark? I'm betting white but figured I would ask.

White. But yesterday, I didn't have any, so I used white chips. Oh - and I didn't have any chocolate chips, so I used dark chocolate bark that I had. It all worked out fine!
 
I am going to offer the Loaded Baked Potato Chowder and the Gumbo recipes.
 
I have been microwaving my caked in the fluted stoneware pan. Premixing the cake mix into the classic batter bowl prior to the show.
 
Has anyone made these with the PC cups in it? I've only made a chocolate dump cake once but I would love to try this tomorrow and take it to my team meeting!
 
I've made Dump Cake with Reese's Dark Cups in it and said if I ever put them in again, I'd chop them, so they'd spread more evener (is that even a word??) through the cake.

HTH,

Lisa
