  1. Sweet Jesus take me home! THESE ARE AMAZING!! They combine my favorite flavors chocolate and raspberry! Everyone that had them raved about them! I did have to increase the baking time by about 10 minutes. I also have to say - I don't know what I did to the Fudge sauce you reccomended but that was a total bust!
     
  2. Made for zaar tag. This was easy to make but I'm sorry we just didn't like it. Had to cook it about 10 minutes longer than suggested. Taste was not as good as I had hoped. It is a weight watchers recipe, which I tend to like most of their recipes. Sorry, SusieQusie, maybe someone else will like this better.

<p>Hello from suburban Fort Worth, Texas! <br /> <br /><br /> <br />______________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />*My rating system defined* <br /> <br />Very few recipes really knock my socks off - I love to cook but am not a gourmet. <br />This said: <br /> <br />***** - met all my expectations in taste &amp; appearance; directions were clear &amp; easy to follow. <br /> <br />**** - fell slightly short of my expectations in taste or appearance or directions were faulty or not completely clear. <br /> <br />*** - mediocre taste and/or appearance; most likely a recipe that I would not use again without much modification. <br /> <br />** - taste and/or appearance was not to my liking; a recipe that I would not attempt to modify or use again. <br /> <br />* - taste was absolutely not to my liking (I can't imagine ever using this rating as I can generally tell by the ingredients if I will enjoy the finished product or not) <br /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/chefbanner1.jpg alt= /> <br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br /><img src=http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j44/scmurray51/hagshat.jpg alt= /> <br />&nbsp;<br /><br />&nbsp;</p>
