When I am in an Onsight session, there can be an audible echo sometimes. What is causing that?
The most likely cause is that your computer microphone and speaker are too close together. We recommend that you use a headset or a quality USB speakerphone on your Onsight computer to physically separate the microphone and speaker audio. You may also want to lower your speaker volume on your computer. Another cause may be that you are listening to both the Voice audio and the Subject audio at the same time. If so, you will need to mute the Subject Audio source within the Volume panel of the Call Window to eliminate the echo.
Why is the video playback window within Onsight corrupt or black?
You may have a PC graphics card/driver issue. You can verify your video card with your PC vendor and you may need to update to the latest video driver firmware.
I can make calls from my PC to other Onsight endpoints but I can't receive calls, Why?
Your Windows Firewall may be blocking in coming calls, in the Control Panel, add Onsight Connect to the Windows Firewall Expections list.

Attach the Onsight Collaboration Hub to an iOS device using its USB cable. Then start Onsight Connect for iOS, once you've logged into the app, turn on the Collaboration Hub. Onsight Connect will recognize the Hub and automatically select it as the video source. You can now make a call and share video from the Onsight Collaboration Hub. Connect a third party video source to one of the Hubs input connectors to see video. For Example, connect a borescope to the Hub.
The Onsight Hub has been selected as the video source but the Viewer shows No Signal. What should I check?
Check the connected inputs to make sure the attached devices are turned on.
Unplug and reconnect the USB camera. Some USB cameras can take up to 10 seconds to start sending video. If no video appears then it is possible that the particular device is not supported by the Onsight Hub. If this is the case please contact Librestream Support.
Unplug and reconnect the HDMI cable. If no video appears then it is possible that the HDMI source is protected using HDCP. Examples of HDMI devices that are protected are DVD/Blu-ray players, satellite receivers, Apple TV or similar boxes.
Unplug and reconnect the VGA cable. If no video appears then the VGA source may be configured to output an unsupported resolution or refresh rate (maximum is 1024×768 at 70 Hz).
Confirm that the S-Video source is on and configured to output video.
How long can I stream video when using the Onsight Collaboration Hub on battery?

It will take a couple of minutes to reboot, and then display the setup wizard to step you through configuration such as wireless network setup, date and time, etc.
Why won't my Onsight 2500 turn on?
The battery door may not be properly closed or you have not inserted a battery in the device. The Onsight device must have a battery inserted even if you are running on AC power. Please refer to your Onsight Device User Guide or Quick Start Guide for visual instructions on how to install the battery.
Why can't I hear audio through my Onsight 2500 speaker?
A headset maybe plugged into the device. If you unplug the headset, audio will come through the speaker. Speaker audio problems on the Onsight Device can also be a result of a setting on the Onsight Connect for Windows application computer. Check the microphone audio setting on the computer. The volume may be set too low or a microphone may be muted on either end of a call.
Why isn't the built-in microphone on my Onsight 2500 working?
The microphone may be working, but the sound may be muted on the other Onsight endpoint. Check the Volume panel in the Call Window on the Onsight computer to ensure that sound was enabled. Check that the Mic Mute button has not been enabled on the Onsight device. Alternatively, you may have the wrong Subject Audio Source setting configured on the Onsight device. Go to the Configuration > Audio > Source menu option and select 'Internal Mic'.
When trying to log in using my Onsight 2500, my username and password are correct but I get a login error?
When using Onsight Connect you must always set the correct time zone, date, and time on your Onsight 2500; HTTPS/SSL requires accurate date and time to be set for authentication. It is recommended to also enable the 'Automatically synchronize with time server' feature to ensure the correct time is maintained- see Configuration\Time\TimeServer.

Two men were arrested in Kampong Chhnang town on Friday after a 15-man brawl over a woman left a teenage bystander nursing head injuries.
The arrested men had reportedly been part of a group of eight visiting the restaurant when seven men and a female companion sat nearby.
Apparently knowing the woman, the group of eight approached her, but when one dished out a hug and a kiss, her companions took issue and glasses and chairs ended up flying around. DEUM AMPIL

Authorities in Quebec announced the death of 54 people because of a heat wave hitting the eastern part of Canada since the end of the past month.
Health authorities told AFP that 28 fatalities caused by the "overwhelming heat" were recorded in the Montreal area, while the other victims were reported in the southwest of the French-Canadian province.
Health Ministry spokeswoman Noemie Vanheuverzwijn said: "Looking at the weather forecast, we are waiting for a return to normal in the coming hours."
On Twitter, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed solidarity with the heat wave's victims, and called citizens to "make sure to protect themselves & their family."
In 2010, a heat wave that hit the country killed 100 people in Montreal.

Having some friends and neighbors over to watch the game, to celebrate a birthday, or just to get together is always fun– and it doesn't have to be hard!
But a lot of people stress about how much food to get for these occasions. You don't want too many leftovers, but even worse, you don't want to run out of food mid-party! We can help you with this.
Seven Loaves Party Platters
Of course, if you want to keep it really simple, Seven Loaves can provide delicious, made-to-order platters that are ready to serve. You tell us how many guests you expect and we can take it from there.
We have antipasto platters with genoa salami, prosciutto, ham, pepperoni, olives and cheeses, served w/ flatbread and crackers. These platters start at $65 each serving up to 20 people.
We also offer vegetable platters with freshly cut carrots, celery, broccoli, sugar snap peas, grape tomatoes, cucumber, and jicama. These are served with Asiago Peppercorn Ranch and garnished with carved radish flowers. Starting at $35, this sized platter serves up to 15.
If you want a cheese platter, we have one offering domestic and imported cheeses served with assorted crackers and fresh fruit garnish. These start at $100, serving up to 25 at this size.
We have many other appetizers, platters and dips available for your gatherings. Check them out here and see if you'd like for us to provide the platters for your next party!
Do-It-Yourself party? Seven Loaves Tips…
When you want to take care of it yourself though, we can help you there too.
One of the hardest things about hosting a get-together is figuring out how much food to get. We've had years of experience with this, and want to share what we've learned.
With a reminder that 16 ounces equal 1 pound, here are our recommendations on how much food you'll need for your next get-together:
We recommend about 4 ounces (or 1/4 pound) per guest when serving deli meat. When serving a sandwich, 4 oz. is generally about 6-7 slices.
When serving cheese, we recommend that you make the ratio of meat to cheese about four parts meat to one part cheese. (Each pound of meat = 1/4 pound cheese)
We suggest 1 ounce of crackers per guest
Chips and dips:
Chips: 1 ounce per person
Dips: 2 ounces per person (volume)
Vegetable platters:
4 oz. of vegetables per person
Favorite options: celery, broccoli, sugar snap peas, grape tomatoes, jicama, carrots, and cucumbers
Dressing: 1 to 1 1/2 ounces per person (volume)
That should cover you on meat and cheese platters, chips and dips, and vegetable platters.
But you also can't go wrong with a big pot of chili for your group! If you decide to go that route, here's our favorite chili recipe:
Seven Loaves Chili
Serves 10
2 1/3 pounds of ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 red onions, sliced
5 fresh jalepeno peppers, sliced and seeded
8 garlic cloves, whole, peeled
1/4 cup chili powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
1/2 pound dry pinto beans
14 oz. beef broth
Optional toppings:
Green onions, sliced
Sour cream
Shredded cheddar cheese
Fritos corn chips
1) Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute until browned, about 6 minutes.
2) Add jalepenos and garlic, saute 1 minute
3) Add ground beef, and cook until brown, about 5 minutes
4) Add chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Then add tomatoes (with juice), beans and broth. Bring to a boil.
5) Reduce heat and simmer until chili thickens and flavors blend, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes.
6) Skim any fat from surface of chili
Ladle chili into bowls and add optional toppings, if desired.

Horace Bushnell graduated from Yale in 1827 and was an accomplished author and pastor in Hartford, CT. In Hartford there is even a Horace Bushnell Memorial Hall. Click here to see more. At the bottom of this post there is an excerpt from Britannica Encyclopedia about Bushnell as well.
Bushnell was an accomplished intellect and his teachings were more aligned with Oneness theology concerning Christ and God. He remained, however, a Congregational pastor until death. Here are some notable quotes from The Character of Jesus and God in Christ. I will try to post more later.
God in Christ:
"God exceeds our measure and, and must, until either He becomes less than infinite or we more than finite."
Character of Jesus:
Speaking of Jesus, Bushnell says the "sacred writings" show Him "reigning, as a Regenerator and Restorer of the broken order of the world."
Bushnell says the "truest of all truths" is "Jesus, the Divine Word, coming out from God, to be incarnate with us, and be the vehicle of God and salvation to the race."
Horace BushnellAmerican theologian
born April 14, 1802, Bantam, Conn., U.S. died Feb. 17, 1876, Hartford, Conn.
Congregational minister and controversial theologian, sometimes called "the father of American religious liberalism." He grew up in the rural surroundings of New Preston, Conn., joined the Congregational Church in 1821, and in 1823 entered Yale with plans to become a minister. After his graduation in 1827, however, he taught school briefly, served as associate editor of the New York Journal of Commerce, and studied law at Yale. Not until 1831, after he had qualified for the bar, did his religious doubts diminish sufficiently for him to begin his theological education. He entered Yale Divinity School and in 1833 was ordained minister of the North Congregational Church in Hartford, where he served for more than 20 years until ill health forced his resignation.

Hi guys
total ignoramus question here: are there rules governing the buy back of debt by the entity that issued it in the first place?
Case in point: big drama unfolding at Noble Group, 1Q result they lost 100M, panic etc.. now on the verge of bankruptcy. Having said that, in March they sold 750M worth of bonds that now trade 40 cents on the dollar. If (theoretically) they bought it back now, they would scored a "gain" (so to speak, you get the idea) of 400M which dwarfs the trading loss that sent the investors in a flat spin, an obvious move to me provided that they still have 350M of liquidity to do that (as they should, given that the sale was only 2 months ago and the loss was only 100M).
What am I not understanding here?

They ain't got the liquidity?

That might be the case, maybe that 750M they raised was to cover some other debt obligation, I do not know the details to tell you the truth... still the trading loss seemed to be small compared to the effect it has had on the bonds, hence my thought.
Which also leads me to ask: companies that issue bonds mark this stuff in their balance sheet at market price or at par?

As part of a wider, funded restructuring small maybe hence trading at 40.000 cash price. That said (and I've not looked) that's not far off the rule of thumb recovery floor... Anyway if they get a funded restructure you wouldn't hit a 40 bid...

Welcome to the world of mark to market.
Companies book their debt at mark to market, so they can and do make big accounting gains just before they go bankrupt, because their liabilities are becoming worthless faster than their assets. But these are only accounting gains - you can't pass them on to the shareholders in any meaningful way.
Buying the debt back doesn't do anything for your valuation (you are just converting paper to cash at market price). It is mainly used for tax purposes. It sort of does reduce the duration on the liability side, but that's what swaps are for. I have never heard of that as a reason to buy back debt.
I don't know the specific situation at Noble. Presumably they feel that they need the liquidity to survive the short term. If they bought the debt back now, the market wouldn't be in any way reassured - who would buy their next issue, and why? - but then they also wouldn't have any liquidity to survive the short term.

Noble has $2bn+ in bank loans. Loan covenants almost always require being paid back at par before any bond buybacks. Otherwise it defeats the purpose of seniority in the capital structure.

If they have the cash and are not restricted by covenants or preference concerns then they can buy back their debt. Virtually all distressed banks buy back their own debt, if they survive they booked a decent gain, if they fail there may be less for remaining creditors as they paid out hard cash.
Noble has very obviously been a complete croque of sh*t for years, it has just taken a very long time to play out because over the last two years they have disposed of all material hard assets and paid off bank debt whilst also raising equity and bonds. What you have left is a company with very limited real assets to dispose of and no income/going concern value. The trading loss was a small part of the reason this thing bombed, they burnt c400mm cash and their lenders refused to roll the rcf so proforma for rcf repayment their cash was c750mm of which 300mm was with brokers. 400-500 cash is not much for a company that burns cash virtually every quarter. There are no longer a going concern, it's impossible for them to compete against other traders with large physical assets and access to cheap funding. They have so called derivative assets marked at 3.4bn which will be worth very low following default, along with small stakes and loans to mining minnows that are worth deminimus.
The banks are trying to figure if there is a way out and some will be worried about underwriting the previous deal, but I don't see a way out. You don't provide new money to a company that has no clear runway, your security may get torn up in court. They are trying to find some external investor but recent press indicates even the Chinese have turned up their noses.
Bright, energetic people—usually quite young—have promised to perform miracles with "other people's money" since time immemorial.

Noble is a " physical (mainly) soft commodities trader" basically an "SPV-type" structure..with very little capital.. from a credit risk perspective more risky than a corporate because of that.. page 38,

I upgraded my in-house VMware vSphere environment to 4.0 Update 2 last week. After upgrading my vSphere Client to the Update 2 version I was greeted with a series of 7 ugly error messages stating: Method not found: 'VMware.CustomControls.LabelEx VpxClient.Common.Util.Helper.AddLabel(System.Windows.Froms.Control,Int32, int32, System.String, System.Drawing.FontStyle, Boolean)".I assumed a plug-in had caused the error message.

EMC Virtual Storage Integrator Update
Right-sizing Your Power and Cooling
We all know that virtualization allows us to do more with less. Fewer servers and space-saving storage (talk about an oxymoron) help us put some green in the datacenter and back in the budget. But with tight budgets demanding greater efficiency, virtualization pushing per-U-space utilization higher, and increasingly rack-dense equipment, proper planning of your physical plant remains an essential part of IT. I argue that right-sizing your power, cooling, and floor-space is more critical now than it has ever been, and is a knowing how to do it is a darn good skill for a virtualization … [Read more...]

Waking up made easy.
Featured in: CNN, Wired, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, BBC, The New York Times and many more.

* Sleep Cycle then finds the optimal time to wake you up during a 30 minute window that ends at your set alarm time.
* Look at the screenshots for recommended phone placement.
As you sleep you go through different phases, ranging from deep sleep to light sleep. The phase you are in when your alarm goes off is critical for how tired you will feel when you wake up.
Since you move differently in bed during the different phases, Sleep Cycle can use the accelerometer in your phone to monitor your movement and determine which sleep phase you are in.
Sleep Cycle wakes you when you are in your lightest sleep phase.
Sleep Cycle was developed using proven sleep science and years of research and development.
√ Waking up made easy! Sleep Cycle analyzes your sleep and wakes you in your lightest sleep phase.
√ Detailed sleep statistics and sleep graphs for every night.
√ 15 carefully selected, high quality, alarm melodies.
√ Use your own music as wake up sound
√ Snooze by shaking or tapping the phone lightly.
√ Customizable wake up window. From instant (regular alarm clock) up to 90 minutes.
√ Background mode - set your alarm and exit Sleep Cycle - sleep analysis will continue in the background
√ Sleep notes - see how events such as drinking coffee, eating too much or having a stressful day affect your sleep quality
√ Long term graphs - track sleep quality over time, see which days of the week you sleep best and much more
Ability to charge your phone by the bed
Ability to place your phone according to the instructions (see screenshots)
Even a sleeping beauty deserves a treat from time to time, so we've spent some love on our own Sleep Cycle, to make it shine and glow but yet remain the same. It's a lot prettier now, but don't worry. Nothing has changed. It's the same experience, only more lovely.

#itstime to listen
This first stage of the Power Project focuses on building capacity to listen to older women. To achieve this we will facilitate education, develop and disseminate a campaign poster and seek feedback on other opportunities to encourage families, community members and service providers to listen to older women who report sexual abuse.
Campaign poster
In March 2018 we will launch an #itstime to listen campaign poster. If you have graphic design skills or capacity to print posters we would love to hear from you.
National Elder Abuse Conference 2018
The launch of Stage one will take place at the National Elder Abuse Prevention Conference in Sydney in 2018. The launch event is an interdisciplinary panel on preventing sexual abuse of older women. After the panel we will invite delegates to share their commitment to the Campaign slogan: #itstime to listen to older women who report sexual abuse.

A Medical and Technical Career Combined
Biomedical equipment technician may not be a job you've heard of or are familiar with but it is an important behind-the-scenes job that keeps hospitals running smoothly. Imagine for a moment the MRI in the hospital malfunctions or a ventilator doesn't work…who fixes it? That's where biomedical equipment technicians come in. They are the individuals who are trained to fix medical equipment when it breaks or malfunctions. Just like any other medical career, their job projections are rising to meet the demand of the increased health care necessary for the baby boomers.
However, for the moment, this career field is relatively small, there's only an estimated 30,000-50,000 technicians nationwide. Biomedical equipment technicians did not even exist until the mid-1960s and early 1970s, it was created in a response to the concern for patient safety with the new electrical equipment that was being used in hospitals. Now electrical safety is no longer an issue but the technology being used has become so complex it needs trained professionals to be able to check for proper performance and to be regularly maintained.
Being a BMET also has impressive job security. Most people stay in a technical job for 13 months but 52% of survey respondents in the trade magazine 24×7 report having been with their employer for 16 or more years, according to TechCareers: Biomedical Equipment Technicians. Starting salaries for entry level BMETs in 2007 were from $32,000 to $42,000 annually, however larger hospitals usually have higher pay scales. After three to five years of experience, BMETs usually make from $42,000 to $50,000 annually.
Being a BMET also has different career paths to follow. There is advancement to different levels, BMET I, BMET II, BMET III, or the technician can choose specialization in different fields like radiology or anesthesia. The completion of a four-year degree also can open up management opportunities which can pay over $100,000 annually.
Some of the job duties of BMETs include maintain, adjust, calibrate and repair the medical equipment used in healthcare facilities. They check the equipment for proper operation and safety using many types of test equipment. They also use common test equipment such as digital volt meters, oscilloscopes, and photo tachometers to troubleshoot and diagnose equipment problems, according to TechCareers: Biomedical Equipment Technicians. As well as using preventative maintenance, BMETs also teach hospital staff proper use and safety of equipment. Beginning BMETs typically do mostly preventative maintenance on equipment instead of repairs but as they get more experience, they'll do more repairs than maintenance. BMETs who stay with an employer for more than a year may also find themselves being sent for specialized training for a new piece of equipment and when they return will be considered the residential expert on that equipment. They will be required to teach other BMETs the maintenance and repair necessary for the equipment.
Customer service is one of the most important aspects of a biomedical equipment technician career. Ultimately the customer is the patient but BMETs will mostly be dealing with doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who use the equipment. Even if the equipment has been repaired and sent back if the customer isn't satisfied then the job isn't over.
BMETs typically work a 40-hour week, occasionally being on-call for after hours and on the weekends. BMETs get paid extra for on-call work and it is usually rotated between resident BMETs.
Because biomedical equipment technicians is in both the medical and technical fields there are some skills that are necessary for their job. BMETs needed to be skilled in electronics, anatomy and physiology/medical terminology, computers and computer networking, troubleshooting, medical equipment, safety, customer service and people skills.
To become a BMET, degrees like bachelor of applied technology, bachelor of applied science and technology, or bachelor of applied management can be used with an associate of applied science degree to qualify for employment. These degrees are being called "inverted" degrees, and they are the fastest and least expensive way to a four-year degree. For BMETs interested in supervisory and management positions, a four-year degree is usually necessary however.
Some useful websites for obtaining a job as a BMET are www.adel-lawrence.com, www.dickberg.com, www.emcon298.com, and www.bmets-usa.com. These are recruiting websites that are looking for BMETs for their clients. They list job opportunities and availabilities at different locations as well as keeping your resume in the system for possible employers to look over.

Country distribution from AmphibiaWeb's database: Dominican Republic, Haiti
Range Description
This species has a restricted range on the Massif de la Selle, in Hispaniola (Haiti and Dominican Republic). It has been recorded from 1,242-2,146m asl.
Habitat and Ecology
It is a terrestrial species, occurring in mesic pine and broadleaf forests, and does not tolerate habitat disturbance. Eggs are laid on the ground, and it breeds by direct development.
It is moderately common in suitable habitat, which is rapidly disappearing.
Population Trend
Major Threats
The primary threat to this species is severe habitat destruction (even in the protected areas of Parc National Morne La Visite and Parque Nacional Sierra de Baoruco) as a result of logging by local people (charcoaling), and slash-and-burn agriculture.
Conservation Actions
Although the species does occur in the Parc National Morne La Visite in Haiti, there is no management of this area for conservation, and the habitat continues to be lost. It is also known from Parque Nacional Sierra de Baoruco in the Dominican Republic, which is better-managed, but is nonetheless still suffering from significant habitat degradation. The maintenance of remaining suitable habitat across the range of the species and improved protection of existing protected areas is essential.
Red List Status
Critically Endangered (CR)
Listed as Critically Endangered because of an expected population decline of greater than 80% over the next ten years, predicted from severe degradation of the species' habitat.

Hot Cocoa Fudge Drops.
Ingredients: Medifast hot cocoa, water.
Put cocoa and 3TBSP of water in a small bowl. Mix well, drop by teaspoon onto foil or wax paper, then place in the freezer for an hour or so to reach the consistency of fudge...
I make Hot Cocoa drops almost every night. You can also substitute a sugar-free syrup for the water if you like, but I usually just make it with water. You mix it with the water until it reaches a brownie-batter like consistency, and then I usually freeze for about 30 minutes...
There's also my reeces PB cup recipe... search that.....
Just made the fudge drops for my evening meal!!! they look/smell amazing, I can't wait to try them!!!!..
I'm sitting here now, enjoying the fudge drops! yum! Vikki and Merzzie, thanks for the recipe.
Ajanders, the pb cub recipe looks wonderful too, but to be honest, the idea of the PB2 stuff scares me right now. I *love* peanut butter, and I'm afraid I'd get carried away with it. I think I'll wait a while longer before venturing down that road. (but I've saved a copy of the recipe for when the time comes!)..
Just had these and they were so yummy! Thanks!..
Very very delicious! Just had them for the first time...
I make fudge out of all the hot drinks, shakes AND even the softserve because I didn't want to mess with the ice in my blender. Love my fudge...
I remember you telling me about this, do you just do the shakes the same way??..
Exactly the same way Bon. Some need less water. I tried it with the strawberry shake because..well, it's the one and only Medifast thing I don't like. I think I put 3 TBS water, but I either lost track and put 4 or I should have only put 2. So...I guess I'm saying, start with 2, but add up to 3 if it seems too stiff. Sometimes I just leave it in the freezer for 30 minutes...kind of frozen on the edges and chewy in the middle. Yum!..
Finally a use for all of those shake packets I've had in my cupboard for the past year. I don't like cold stuff, but I didn't want to throw them out. Now, "fudge"? I can so handle that..
(Btw, the cocoa fudge drops this morning? Best. Breakfast. Ever!)..
I just made these with Swiss Mocha shake (which is not my fav as a shake) with 2 TBS cold coffee and sugar free carmel syrup - and ohhhh - tastes like canned frosting!!!..
I may never drink my cocoa again. Must try this with a shake...
Tried them too this morning and I think I will stick with the drinks. I will try the shake like this and see if I like the texture...
So I tried the fudge balls last night and they were SO FREAKING GOOD!!!! However, I didn't find them very satisfying. Satisfying in taste yes, but not fillling. This will be my go to at that time of the time where chocolate is all I want. BUT, I found I kept wanting more. So I will definitely keep this as a special treat when I feel myself faltering because I am afraid they may be a trigger...
I make these fudge drops with every hot drink, shake and even soft serve. I just ended up with too many liquids and don't want to drag my blender out (or purchase a ninja) for the soft serve. Even the chai latte makes a rockin' fudge drop. Sometimes I make them at night so I can have them first thing in the morning with my coffee. YUM!!!..
I am going to try these tonight! Thank you for posting this.... Trick or Treat! I get my candy this weekend after all! =)..
Thats exactly what I was thinking! I'm going to make several batches to have on hand on Sunday. Happy Halloween!..
So here's my question: I will make these tonight to see what the consistency's like but: has anyone ever tried to make fudge drops and rolled them in the PB ice cream powder? Or shake powder?.
On that same note, has anyone ever made shake/ice cream fudge drops and rolled them in the cocoa?.
It'd count as 2 meals I presume. Any leftover powder could be turned into bon-bons itself, but: just wondering if anyone's tried it and wondering how it turned out? I'm totally curious..
Okay I tried the recipe and I did it slightly differently: had one batch for my final meal, eating the other batch tomorrow..
Reese's PB cup recipe using 2 Medifast meals:.
I did 1 packet of pb ice cream (3T of water) and made 12 bon-bons on tin foil. Flattened them a bit. Then made 1 packet of the cocoa (3T of water) and plopped that on top of the pb bon-bons. Froze for 30+mins. Made 12 reese's-style bon-bons (make 2 Medifast meals).
They were sooo good. Warning: mine melted quickly once they were out of the freezer so take them only a couple at a time. Thanks for the tips all! Enjoy everyone!..
Finally going to give in and try these, all the variations have my head spinning, not knowing which one to try first... the one with pb2 probably.... since I will be handing out reeses cups on sunday.....
Now how much water goes in when you add pb2... I will add one tablespoon of pb2 and maybe three tablespoons of water?????.
Hope theres an answer soon...... the idea is really calling to me... probably due to all the bags of receese cups in the closet..
Kay, I don't use PB2, but I think your on the right track with the amounts. It's a very forgiving recipe. Just remember you want the texture to be stiff enough to plop the drops onto wax paper or foil...
I tried the "basic" recipe last night and it was soooooo yummy!! Perfect for my chocolate cravings!.
I had these last night. AWESOME! I like them more than the Medifast brownies...
