The original version of this unbelievably over-the-top truffle dessert tastes like it took all day to make! But after our makeover, it can be made with just 30 minutes of hands-on work, so you can focus on other things during this busy season.

Use Chocolate as Chips“After Easter, I put leftover solid or hollow chocolate bunnies or eggs in a plastic bag and pound them into small pieces,” relates Geraldine B. of Kersey, Pennsylvania. “I use them in place of chocolate chips in recipes.”

Made this for Christmas dinner dessert. It was fantastic & easy to make. After reading reviews I did make a few adjustments to the recipe- I used 2 cups milk chocolate chips & 1 cup semisweet chips & I did not use the coffee granules (my husband does not like a coffee/choc combo). I also kept it all in the springform pan while it chilled. It looked professional. Everyone asked where I bought it.

Taste was bitter and the cookies lost their crunch after refrigeration. Not worth the work to make it.

This is just an observation. Sometimes "Makeover" can also refer to a more simplified version, not necessarily healthier. I remember seeing a recipe for this that you had to make the brownies from scratch and took longer.I also dont see "healthy" listed anywhere in the description or see it in a "healthy" section so it was probably intended to refer to ease of preparation.

This recipe was delicious! I unfortunately forgot to buy the brownie mix so had to make that from scratch but either way, it was well worth it. I posted pictures of my dessert on my blog: heartforcooking.blogspot.com

I made this for a church function where it was being auctioned off to highest bidder. Someone pd $50 and took it to a family event. Everyone loved it. Get two cans of pirouettes, one was not enough.

The "makeover" is supposed to be a lighter version than the original. This is higher in calories & fat than the original. That's why it's always wise to look around for recipes & not stop at one because it says "makeover". To those looking for a healthy version...it's not a dessert that you can make healthy but there are lighter versions out there.
