What are the top recipes for this season's best dishes?

[Denarella]

My chocolate chips don't like getting small, either. So I use the mini chips instead. The recipe still shows the chopper for the nuts.

Most of the boys in my house dont like nuts so I didnt put them although I love them in chocolate! Whew! Im glad to hear it wasnt my chopper!

We had our meeting last night that we tried everything. I made the Mini Pesto Pizzas & thought those were awesome! I wasn't too sure on them because of the pesto, but they were great & a super-easy show recipe! Hardly any prep work to be done & they take no time in the oven--just 12 minutes!

I liked the jerk chicken nachos too. I'm not a fan of the jerk rub so I wasn't sure on them, but they were good. The caramel brownies weren't as good as I thought they should be, but they were cold when we ate them. So I'm going to try them myself & see if they are better warm. The tangy brie was ok, but I couldn't taste much in it. I want to try the other two because I'm not sure if many of my guests would even try the tangy one.

I thought the chocolate desserts were ok, but not as fabulous as I hoped. I really want to try the chocolate dip, maybe that will be good. I really like this season's themes though--much better than some of the past ones in my opinion!

Oh--when I made the trifle at home, I used cheesecake pudding instead of white chocolate & it was good!

Someone made that for our meeting last week, and it was REALLY good!

Oops! I forgot about the Mini-Pesto Pizzas. They were the meeting. They were cold, but very very good! We also had the Tang Brie, but I wasn't even going to try it becuase of the peppers.

I told ya'll I was picky!

This was SO GOOD! We had it at our cluster meeting last night w/ apple slices and I LOVED it!

I have made the chocolate brownies 6 times. The first time I made them I used the food chopper and it was horrible how long it took. I also used the premium mixed nuts instead of regular.

The second time I made them I used the Santoku Knife instead of the chopper for the chocolate and it worked wonderfully. I also used the generic mixed nuts and it tasted better. Something about the peanuts being in there really helped. Since then everyone in my family keeps requesting I make them. I don't really like these kind of sweets so I never ate a full brownie but when I tasted one it was not chewy and I got one of the rolo pieces. I wonder if the amount of time between taking the brownies out of the oven and inserting the rolos matters? I placed them right away in the brownies and put the extra on the top, they immediately started melting, just a thought.

I have made the brownies twice and agree that the chopper is not the best tool for the chocolate chip chopping job....I used the crinkle cutter and it was super easy. Otherwise, I'll be using the mini morsels in the future.

BTW, I'm a chocolate lover, but thought these were just too sweet....on the other hand, I have had several people tell me that these were "the best brownies that they've had in their life", and one person demand the recipe, so I'll keep making them. Can't wait to try all the other recipes!

I've discovered that the chocolate chunks chop better than the regular chips. And, yes, mini chips are a quick alternative.

My director made trifle with strawberries instead of raspberries and she said that she would not recommend it. I believe that she said they get all mushed up (her terminology), but everyone at the show ate it and there was none left.
