Delicious Brownie Dessert

August 5, 2015 by Danielle 5 Comments

Who doesn’t love a yummy ooey gooey chocolate dessert on a hot summer day? I am a huge fan of anything chocolate and couldn’t wait to get my hands on this amazing dessert. I have made a few variations of this dessert a few times this summer, but I think that this variation is my absolute favorite. Get a big glass of milk ready for yourself as you prepare this dessert!

Here’s what you need:

9 x 13 brownie mix
8oz. cream cheese
1 Cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
8 0z. heavy whipping cream
butterfinger for crushed topping

(I so forgot to put the cream cheese in the picture)

Make Brownies as directed on the box
Let brownies cool completely
While brownies are cooling mix together all ingredients until they are well blended.
Spread the mixture onto the pan of brownies
Crush up the butterfingers and then sprinkle on the top of the mixture and brownies
Put brownies in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving.

My girls really enjoyed crushing up the butterfingers together!

I would say that these brownies are absolutely amazing and my two little helpers would most definitely agree. I love a cool dessert, especially in the summer. I have made these for a few barbecues and summer outings that we have had and I will tell you that I always have to leave the recipe with them when I leave because they are just truly that good.

If you wanted to use a different candy topping heath or even Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups would be a great topping for this amazing dessert.

Please let me know what your thoughts are on this amazing dessert and what topping you choose for your family.

The Best Sugar Cookie Recipe Ever

February 19, 2015 by Danielle 4 Comments

Who doesn’t love a wonderful sugar cookie? I am truthfully not really a sugar cookie person, but let me tell you….this sugar cookie recipe is amazing. I always make them fairly thick and they seem to stay soft and good at all times! I made these last week for Valentine’s Day (about 70+ hearts) and not a single one was wasted.

Sugar Cookie Recipe:

1 Cup Oleo or Butter
1 Cup Shortening
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 Cup White Sugar
2 Eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 1/2 Cups Flour

Of course, there is always the stand mixer kept in your kitchen!

1. Cream together the Butter and the Shortening.
2. Add the Powdered Sugar and the White Sugar
3. Add the remaining ingredients; eggs, vanilla, salt, baking soda, and flour.
4. After the cookie dough is all mixed together you can refrigerate if you feel necessary. (I typically don’t refrigerate)

Banana Bread Recipe

November 30, 2014 by Samantha 3 Comments

You can’t go past a good homemade banana bread. One slice after another – and before you know it you have eaten a whole loaf. Make sure you use really ripe bananas, as they bring about a deep, sweet banana flavor. Often I spread a cream cheese icing on top, finished with toasted chopped walnuts – but it wouldn’t be a bread then, would it? Tip: you can also make this delicious banana bread recipe in bread maker appliance easily.

Makes 1 x 23cm LOAF

220g self-raising flour

¼ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp salt

80g sugar

45g brown sugar

2 eggs

60ml milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

75g melted butter or vegetable oil

200g mashed ripe banana

This is a super easy treat to make for the family. If you thought you couldn’t find the time to make donuts- you are wrong. This is a awesome fool proof way to make up some fresh donuts for any occasion. All you nee is some oil and some Pillsbury biscuits and you are ready to go.
