  1. Pretty darn good, but oh-so hard to cut through. I'm experimenting with making it lighter and easier to cut.

  3. I have not tried this recipe. My copy of this says it makes 10 servings. Kraft Kitchen Tip-Special Extra: Just before serving, top each serving with 2 Tbsp. thawed cool whip or cool whip french vanilla whipped topping. Thanks for posting. Christine (internetnut)
     
  4. I made this for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. A small piece will do you because it is very rich. I'll be making this again!
     
  5. This IS very sinful. I prepared this at my hubby's request and haven't been able to eat an entire slice by myself. It is THAT rich. Hubby loved it, though. The prep was simple, but the workout to loose the pounds put on just by looking at it will be rough. LOL Thanks for posting.
