This week's Tuesday's with Dorie recipe is Desert Roses. These are a melt and mix concoction comprised of cornflakes, dried fruits and nuts bound together with butter and chocolate.
There's not much to say about these. They reminded me a little of fruit and nut chocolate with cornflakes for crispiness. Dorie describes the Desert Roses as "candies", and that's pretty much what they are.
I made a quarter batch of desert roses - I had no idea what I'd do with 40 of them, and 340g of chocolate is a big investment in one recipe for a full batch. They were delicious, but not so wonderful that I would hurry to make them again.

What an interesting name! Are they American? I love honey joys and I think I'm more likely to make those. :)
Dorie says they are French!
I'm with Lorraine, I love my Honey Joys! And Chocolate Crackles. But these are a fun addition to a holiday table!
These were quite delicious....and easy.
These are good for a party. I am sure your workmates liked them.
Fun little treat!
A full batch of these would be rather a lot (possibly a dangerous amount)! They sound like a fun twist on other cereal containing treats.
Oh they are kind of posh chocolate crackles/Florentine!!
