  1. I made this over the weekend and served it with graham cracker sticks. I don't know if using the "double strength" key lime juice did it but it was really too sweet and had a odd smell about it - too limey. It tasted okay but I'll have to figure out a way to cut down on the sweet/limey taste. It was just okay. It was very easy to make and the texture was okay. You have to really stir it after baking it so not to get a weird texture.
     
  2. I made this for a family gathering and we all thought it was yummy, but very rich dip. I used graham crackers but we also thought it would be good with shortbread cookies or chocolate graham crackers. The recipe indicates a serving size of 6-8 portions but I thought it made a huge bowl, I had 10 adults and alot left over. Overall our guests rated it 4 1/2 stars.
     
  3. Great recipe! Had alot of flavor! Thanks for a great recipe!
     
  4. Sorry- I hate to give a bad rating, but this wasn't good. I only had a few tastes and then threw it out. It had an odd texture. It wasn't smooth like I thought it should be. I guess that could have been something I did wrong, but I followed the directions to the letter... It was really just the texture that got me.
     
  5. I took the key lime dip to a party and it was a hit. Everyone loved it. I highly recommend it.
