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.
To see what everyone else made this week and what they thought of it, visit the LYL section of the TWD website.
What an interesting name! Are they American? I love honey joys and I think I'm more likely to make those. :)

DeleteI'm with Lorraine, I love my Honey Joys! And Chocolate Crackles. But these are a fun addition to a holiday table!
ReplyDeleteThese were quite delicious....and easy.
ReplyDeleteThese are good for a party. I am sure your workmates liked them.
ReplyDeleteFun little treat!
ReplyDeleteA full batch of these would be rather a lot (possibly a dangerous amount)! They sound like a fun twist on other cereal containing treats.
ReplyDeleteOh they are kind of posh chocolate crackles/Florentine!!
