Caramel-Chocolate Cream Puffs
Photo: David Prince
Start with frozen, store-bought cream puffs and this three-ingredient dessert is a snap. Let the puffs thaw during dinner, then roll them in warm caramel sauce and serve on a bed of hot fudge or dark-chocolate sauce.
How to Make It
Defrost the cream puffs according to the label directions. In a small saucepan, over medium-high heat, bring 3/4 of the caramel sauce to a boil. Boil for 1 minute or until the sauce thickens into a chewy glaze. Holding a cream puff with tongs or speared on a fork, dip one side of the puff into the caramel, then place on a dessert plate. Repeat with the remaining puffs, arranging 4 on each plate. A few minutes before serving, warm the hot fudge sauce over low heat. Spoon it around the plated cream puffs. For a Valentine's Day touch, drop 3 small dollops of the remaining unboiled caramel sauce into the hot fudge sauce on each plate. With a toothpick, draw a line through the drops to form hearts (see photo).

So what if it's "pre-packaged" and not baked from scratch! BFD!! Sometimes I just don't feel like hauling out all the pots, pans and ingredients to bake - or I need something FAST for unexpected visitors.

Seriously? Even no bake, icebox, etc... recipes require ingredients. This is just a serving idea for a prepackaged dessert item.

I give this 5 stars (outstanding) because it is so creative and easy. Who care if it's packaged stuff. Anywhere we can get a little help deserves credit.

I agree with the other reviewer that this is not a "recipe". It may qualify as menu recommendation, but a boxed dessert and bottle of sauce isn't a recipe.
Browniequeen's Review
This site is getting pretty lame if defrosting a box of frozen cream puffs and opening a jar of fudge sauce now constitutes a 'recipe.' More like a paid plug for the brand of cream puffs mentioned.
