Back in November when I visited General Mills I did a little more than just hang out in the Betty Crocker taste kitchens and eat all of their good food (although I wouldn’t mind doing that all day). I actually was there to film a video in the Betty Crocker studios for Valentine’s Day. Everyone was so nice over there and made me feel as comfortable as possible. But I was terrified which is why I seem so serious because I stop smiling when I’m nervous. And I’m doing this squint thing with my eyes and talking out of the side of my mouth. And I haven’t had eyebrows like that since high school but they said it looks better on camera. Or at least that’s what they told me after I sneaked into the bathroom and tried rubbing them off (I’m naughty). What an experience!

The Bruschetta with Gorgonzola and Honey is in the video.
My husband and I love chocolate and fruit so this was a winner for us. I recently made over 150 of these for a church event and I used a homemade brownie for half of them and a Betty Crocker mix for the rest and I don’t think you could tell the difference between the two.
