    Great dessert. We, occasionally, cook a dinner at a senior center for 55 to 60 people. We used this as our dessert, at the last dinner. I had to go home and print 45 copies of the recipe. It was that great. We have tried this with different fruits. Outcome still the same. GREAT!

    Made these for a Superbowl party. Quick, easy and delicious. But other reviewers are right about the temperature. I set the temp for 400 degrees and at 14 minutes, when I checked them, they were just starting to burn. I am making them, per request, next week for another party. I will lower the oven temp and check on them frequently. Also, I might try a few with blue cheese in the place of the cheddar.
