I think drier cheeses that are aged longer would be more susceptible to cracking. I also think it helped that I cut the cubes into substantial pieces. I had the cheese on the counter for about 20 minutes before cutting. Maybe it did warm to just the right temp. I'm just guessing at why it didn't crack. I was quite grateful that it didn't.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-76488401374653042902017-08-29T13:05:40.614-07:002017-08-29T13:05:40.614-07:00I, too, think the cheese and grapes look wonderful...I, too, think the cheese and grapes look wonderful!

I find that the cheese has to be just the right temperature when inserting the toothpick or it splits.

The frosting has a hint of cinnamon and maple, and the cookies are like a snickerdoodle, but a bit more cinnamon-y. It does seem like a "seasonal" flavor, so may come back this fall, and is just odd enough that there would be leftovers that make it to markdown, after Thanksgiving/Christmas.<br /><br />I used the mixes on 4 occasions for coffee hours and got really good feedback every time. I always had 2 or 3 people asking me for the "recipe." If I see these mixes and frosting again, on markdown, I will definitely buy them.<br /><br />Your lunches for work sound delicious. I often do something similar, with cheese, nuts, fruit, peanut butter on toast, for either lunch or breakfast.<br /><br />Have a wonderful day, Angie!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-59279412077007504822017-08-29T09:32:41.323-07:002017-08-29T09:32:41.323-07:00Thank you, Cat.

So I was very glad that I had it for them, especially.<br /><br />Those cookie mixes and cans of frosting were a steal, weren't they? I only wish I had bought more of the mixes, but of course they were an odd flavor and I wasn't sure if we'd like them. They turned out to be quite good. :-)Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-89903808181196215102017-08-29T09:29:00.701-07:002017-08-29T09:29:00.701-07:00Hi Alice,
