"My husband's co-workers always love my desserts," says Brenda Melancon in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, "especially the cookies and bars. So when I decided to enter this contest, I used them as my 'guinea pigs.' They nominated these bars for their unique flavor...and all asked for the recipe! Believe it or not, most of them are men."

Overall, I thought this custard was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This custard is a bit too runny for my taste. I would cook it for a bit longer next time to thicken it up.

I found this custard to be a bit bland. I would add more spices next time to give it more flavor.

This custard is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my custard didn't turn out as good as I hoped. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as creamy as I wanted it to be.

This custard is to die for! It's so creamy and rich, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The macadamia nuts add a lovely crunch and flavor. I will definitely be making this again and again.
