Patriot Ice Cream Sandwich

Little and big kids will love this crunchy cold treat. Just 2 easy steps give this old favorite new life. This will have you thinking why didnt I think of that.
These are so easy that your kids can make them theirselves, and I call that Kid friendly.

Ingredients:

Ice Cream Sandwiches
Magic Shell Ice Cream covering,your flavor
Sprinkles, of your choice

What to do:

Shake Magic Shell, and pour onto a plate.
Pour some sprinkles on another plate.
Unwrap the sandwiches then dip one side of it on the magic shell. Then dip in the sprinkles. Repeat the process on the other 3 sides.

TIP: After you touch the sandwiches to the chocolate, be sure not to rub just touch the sandwiches to the sprinkles, its all about technique, and do it quickly before the magic shell sets.

A refreshing updated take that will be a crowd-pleaser whether its a get-together for adults and/or kids or just an everday summer treat. And using sprinkles can make them a holiday tie-in. It really is that easy!

Easy Apple Crisp

Apples are popular fall staple, but if your pressed for time and easy way to make Apple Crisp is to use Granola and canned Apple Pie filling. If you like the Crisp in Apple Crisp then you'll love the slightly crunchy texture of the granola as the crisp.

Pour the Apple pie Filling in a baking dish. Cover with about 2 cups of granola cereal
Bake at 375* in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes

I like mine as is. However, If you prefer more sweet evenly sprinkle 1 TBSP sugar and 1 TBSP of cinnamon before covering with granola. Want even more flavor drizzle caramel sauce over before adding granola topping.

I know what your thinking, "How come I didn't think of this" . Well that's why you got me, to think of things u didn't think of. Ha! Just remember good doesn't have to be complicated or expensive.

Keep it easy,

EZ Fried Ice Cream Sundae

Hello Everyone, I don't know about you but sometimes I want a new flavor when it comes to Ice Cream. Don't get me wrong I LOVE chocolate but sometimes my taste buds are screaming for something new. So I came up with this Really Easy take on Fried Ice Cream.

Ingredients:

Vanilla Ice Cream Jar of Honey Taco Bells' Cinnamon twist crisps

The measurements are your own, put as much toppings as you want just be careful of the amount of Honey as it tends to be sickenly sweet with too much of it.

Yummy delicious and way to easy. The convenience of using Taco Bell's Cinnamon twist gives you the perfect excuse to grab lunch or dinner out, ha! So the next time you need a change from the ordinary sundae flavors and you spot a Taco Bell, stop in and grab a bag or two. I grabbed 3 bags when I got home put them in a storage bag and what is left is still fresh and crispy. and that was a week and a half ago. I think they are a bit like chips, once cooked they stay good for a while.

I even put this recipe to the test with my 3 kids and they loved it.

NOTE: Please Remember Parents that Honey should not be given babies, Pediatricians recommend not feeding your child Honey until they are at least 1 yr old.

Brownie Marshmallow Surprise

While at a potluck I tasted the best dessert, when the lady kept forgetting to bring the recipe I got busy and crafted my own recipe and here is what I came up with. The convenience of store bought brownie mix keeps this dessert on my easy list. Now that summer is coming to a close you can turn on your oven and make this sweet treat!

Ingredients:
1 pckg of Brownie mix
1/2 cup of Peanut Butter
1 jar of Marshmallow creme
1 bag of Milk Chocolate Chips
1/8- 1/4 cup of Milk
1/2 cup of Rice Krispy cereal
1/8 cup of chopped pecans

Directions:
Make brownie according to package directions but add PB to the mix & mix well, bake as directed. Remove from oven. while still warm spread Generous amounts of Marshmallow creme on top of brownie

Pour bag of Chocolate in a saucepan on medium heat, add milk start with 1/8 of cup only adding more if needed. When Chocolate is melted add Pecans. Mix quickly. Remove from heat add Rice Krispy cereal, also mix quickly, then spread over Marshmallow.

Tip: When melting Chocolate Chips I use milk, it melts faster and the milk helps to make the chocolate creamier for use in recipes.

Allow to cool, about 1 hr then cut into bars and Eat and enjoy.

Disclaimer: Warning I am not responsibe for your Chocolate OD. lol And with this dessert many ER's will be full to capacity, ha!

Easy No Bake Smore's bars

Summer is in full swing and that means turning off the oven & heading outside to enjoy some summer fun. One of those things we all enjoy is a S'more around the campfire, which is a summer staple if you ask me, Ha!

Sometimes though a campfire is not available , but that doesn't mean we have to deprive ourselves of this gooey chocolatey mess of Goodness, haha!

Ingredients:

4TBSp of Butter/Margarine 5 cups of Miniature Marshmallows 6 Cups of Golden Graham cereal 2-3 Hershey's Chocolate Bars (that have been refridgerated)

Tip: I refridgerated my Chocolate Bars so I could break them up more easy and not get chocolate all over my hands while doing it. First I broke the cooled Hersheys down into separate rectangles, then I broke each rectangle in half, depending on your love For Chocolate 2-3 bars is sufficient.

DIRECTIONS: Just like Rice Crispy treats make in the same fashion. Melt Butter in Saucepan, then add Marshmallow's. When Marshmallow's have melted then add Cereal. Simply remove from Heat then spread into Pan. Drop your chocolate pieces onto the mixture. Allow to cool then cut into bars.This recipe with that sweetened cereal is very rich, You'll definitely need a glass of milk, Ha!

Note: I think my tummy aches, I ate too many, oh but it was soooo GOOD, Ha! And way too EASY with only 4 ingredients.

Tip: Don't bother using wax paper it will just stick to the bars. you can spray your pan lightly with butter flavored spray, if you prefer. My wax paper ened up getting stuck and was impossible to remove as it had melted onto my treat. From experience, don't line your pan.

Keep it easy! Yvonne D.
