Weird! I guess because blueberries aren't porous like those other berries? The picture I saw had blueberries on it rolleyes.gif, but maybe I'll give it another try with raspberries.

Were those the ones where you cook baby red potatoes the smash them, coat them in a bit of oil, then broil or bake them? I did those at my house and they were really, really good. I used a variety of topping. They became a base for all sorts of layers of goodness.

 

I made these as well and thought they turned out pretty good.  Not as amazing as the comments, but good just the same.

 

 

We tried the glow bubbles.  Fail.

This wasn't a complete fail, but they took way longer than what I thought.  The potato chips you make in the microwave.  They tasted pretty good, but I made enough for the 4 of us for lunch one day and it took me hours to make enough.  They would be good for someone who wants to make just 1 serving for themselves though.

 

Baked Kale chips - Yuck!

 

We made the banana and Nutella ice cream, it was good, but too rich to eat much of it.

I tried making the heart shape cupcakes where you put a marble in between the liner an the cupcake tin, didn't really look like a heart.

 

I heard that the glow bubbles don't work, I was so bummed, I wanted to do that one!

Yeah, my son was completely bummed too.  We were excited about them and then nothing...

Has anyone seen the pin with inside out chocolate-covered strawberries, and they kept them in an egg carton?  Does that sound really germy to anyone else?

... Depends on the egg carton. Commercial egg producers wash their eggs. The salmonella is on the inside, not the outside.

I would think you would wash the egg cartons first, but maybe that isn't good enough, not sure.

 

I thought of another thing I failed..  I tried one of the Cake mixes where you use pop.  The pin I saw had strawberry cake and sprite, but I mixed it up and used strawberry pop and a white cake.  It was such a sticky mess.  I did recently try another cake and pop mix that was much better, it was a diet pop with a cake mix.  I used a Sugar Free Devils Food cake mix and a can of Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper.  That one was really good.

I made the apple chips and that was good but then I tried to make fruit leather and my oven even at the lowest still burned it at the lowest time on the recipe so  I will try again and knock off a couple of hrs. Plus it totally stuck to the paper anyways so I have to go and buy myself a silicone mat and hopefully that works better. But what wasn't burnt that I got off the wrap was good.

my experience has been that the cakes are quite flat which I don't like.

My oven doesn't go low enough, I have to heat it up, and then turn if off.  Then I let it just sit in the warm oven.

 

And you NEED a silicone mat! That is my number one favorite kitchen tool ever.
