"What a surprise these were! I deviated from the recipe in 2 ways: no coffee and added roasted walnuts. I baked them for 28-30 min and let them stay out for 4 hours before cutting (too loose after they cooled for 2 hrs. They were moist and very flavorful. The walnuts gave them crunch and everyone loved them! The chocolate flavor was superb and"

"This cheesecake was a great surprise! Very creamy with great pumpkin pie flavor. I've made NY-style cheesecakes for years and this one was just as satisfying. I followed the directions except for 2 things: I used a 9"x13" pyrex dish and doubled the spices. I never use a springform pan and the batter fills the dish all the way to the top. You'll""

"This was a great fruitcake recipe I've made for 10 years! I followed the recipe except for doubling the spices and adding a cup of nuts. The taste is always rich and the alcohol does heighten the flavor. This recipe should dispell all myths that fruitcakes are doorstops. Never get store-bought since this recipe is easy to follow and the results""

"This was a great homemade recipe. The tartness was just right and a nice blend with the citrus. The alcohol and nuts were great additions as well. Definitely worth a try and MUCH better than canned cranberry sauce!""

"I've been making this recipe for years with raves from all my chocoholic co-workers and family. It take a few hours to complete, but as Alton has stated "your patience will be rewarded". I double the liquor portion and compared to what you will spend at Godiva for 36 liquour truffles you spend about 1/3 the price! Better yet they're fresh and you add whatever you like. Definitely use the powder-free latex gloves for rolling the truffles smooth and use a dipper that drains excess chocolate from the bottom when coating. Also, I microwave the chocolate for the outside shell and start dipping when the temp is around 90 degrees. Well worth the effort and an easy way to make friends fast!
