It was amazing! I'm definitely making it again! People from my book group are STILL talking about it!

I made a dessert!!!

Here's my story...

I took Rand's place and decided to try and create something for the commander... but I didn't have the official Criollo; therefore, I came up with something almost as good!

I bought cake from a box (if I had more time I would have tried to actually make it)-- dark chocolate. It calls for 1 1/3 cups of water...instead I put 1/2 cup of fat free coffeemate hazelnut and then the rest water. For the cream I used coolwhip and coffee syrup. On the top, I added Lindt chocolate truffles!

I figured chocolate b/c of the Criollo, hazelnut because it was said to have a nutty flavor. The coolwhip w/ coffee flavoring because of coffee being banned! I thought the truffles would be good because they reminded me of little Criollo balls.

It was a huge success! The group LOVED it and it tasted AMAZING! It sounds heavy- but man was it so light!

Oh- and I brought it like the 3rd pic... I had to taste it...you know. :)










Soooo good!

Hi.

I have book group tomorrow and I know this question is going to come up. I think only Maria can answer it, but one lady in my group wanted to know why did that bit need to be in the book? Could the book have been just as good without that spin?


So, I ask you all that question. Opinions welcomed!

that sounds great! I will have to try it. Thanks.

Hello,

My book group is reading Poison Study next month and I'm in charge of bringing dessert. We like to do theme type desserts if at all possible...

Any suggestions???
