So good and easy! I made this a bit different, as another reviewer, I made the caramel sauce, then poached the pears (sliced) in the sauce. Then topped as directed. I would definitely use the almonds, as they provided great taste and texture to this very light and yummy dessert. :) -
Perfect in every respect and easy too! The almonds add a nice crunch. Thanks for sharing, TeresaS.:) Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders game. -
The flavor and simplicity of this is great, but baking it in the oven didn't really work for me - the sauce burned up - so I started over and sort of poached the pear in the microwave, made the sauce in the microwave and then put the whole thing together - tasted wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful dessert, & the almonds definitely need to be toasted! I was almost talked out of that, but then wanted to follow the recipe & am so glad I did! Caramel, TOASTED almonds, pears = A very satisfying combo! Thanks for posting the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe] -
This made a delicious lunch Teresa. I really enjoyed the tender, flavor of the pear, blended with carmel, yogurt and almonds. It was very very tasty. Quick and really easy to make. Thanks for sharing another winner. Made for Fall Pac 2011.

YUM this was good. Everyone enjoyed these. I followed the recipe as written other then I used butter instead of margarine as I don't buy margarine. I also didn't add the almonds as I didn't have any. We all enjoyed this! -
wow this is so good. I love the sauce. I could lick the bowl LOL I used unsalted butter instead of margarine. This gives more taste (for my taste LOL) I didn't have almonds to garnish but it was still delicious. I spooned no fat vanilla yogurt on the pear and then garnish with the sauce. Yummy! Thanks Teresa :) Made for Please Review My Recipe.
