last time i made it, i used strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting and milk chocolate coating.. tasted like chocolate covered strawberries

Ooooooooh! Fooz and Farah are going to get you! You're giving away their "secret" recipe.

haha nO it was not an original! There are limits to be obesity. I'm glad to say I did not think to, "Dump the frosting in the cake, mash it up, and add MORE chocolate!"

Those are my favorite. I hear cream cheese instead of cream cheese frosting works well. Probably better b/c it cuts down on the sweetness.

German choc. with pecan & coconut frosting is my favorite. The frosting gives the cakeballs more texture.

While we're at it, any tips on chicken pot pie making? I got instructions that include frozen veggies, chicken bit pieces, frozen pie crusts creamy mushroom soup, and spices.
I make a no-bake cheesecake. I use: one package of cream cheese, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 cup sugar, and half a tub of cool whip (I think it's an 8oz tub?). First you blend the cream cheese with sugar and vanilla, then fold in the cool whip. also, i've learned to taste it to make sure there's enough sugar (it is cheesecake after all!). then pour it into the pie crust and cool for at least 3 hours - overnight is better. then i usually cut up strawberries to decorate. it's yummy and easy!
