TWD CATCH UP

I am going to cram 3 TWD posts into one. I have been so busy and have been baking along but have not been posting. Time to get my act together!

These applespice bars were OK. I thought that they tasted delicious right out of the oven after the frosting was just cooled. But the next day....not so much. I stored them in a Tupperware container and they were a little mushy and the frosting seemed to soak through the bars. The recipe was chosen by Karen from Something Sweet and can be found HERE. I think that if I would make them again I would halve the recipe and intend to eat them all at once maybe for a party.

This key lime pie was tasty. I might have left the pie under the broiler a tad too long though. It was almost black in spots. Still good though. The recipe was chosen by Linda of Tender Crumb and can be found HERE. My only criticism about this was too much butter. I should have used half. I would rather have more of a tart lime taste than a lime/butter combo.

These YUMMY espresso cheesecake brownies are PHENOMENAL! I wouldn't change a thing about them. I could sit down right now and eat half the pan they are that good. I used 4 oz of semi-sweet chocolate and reduced fat cream cheese. I also only had about a half cup of sour cream and about a quarter cup of powdered sugar. Therefore, my topping wasn't that thick. I don't think that it mattered though. The recipe was chosen by Melissa from Life In a Peanut Shell and can be found HERE. Thank you for such a great pick!!

Phew! I am full just reading about all those desserts! The brownie layer in the bars looks like the perfect ratio of cheesecake to crust. Maybe that's why I didn't like mine - the proportions were off.

I haven't tried the lime pie yet, but there are limes in my fridge waiting for me. I am totally just skipping the meringue and going for whipped cream. I just want to give it a try. Now, if only I could find my gumption! :o) Glad you liked the brownies. They were pretty tasty!

While you caught up on posting, I'm way behind on visiting all the blogs I want to!
Everything looks great!

I'm glad I'm not the only one behind posting - got the apple sauce bars up on time, but haven't gotten the other two done. Yours look great, even if you didn't think they were all winners.
