1/4 c. Sugar

Oh My- this is soo good!. We had a similar dessert at a restaurant once and so we decided to recreate it ourselves!
You can do this one of two ways:
1) Use refrigerated cookie dough
2) From scratch Cookie Dough- use your favorite recipe.
This night we used Pillsbury Refrigerated Dough.
Ingredients:
Cookie Dough
Extra Chips (we used White Chocolate)
Vanilla Ice Cream
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Press dough into Large Cast Iron Skillet
We added extra chips to the top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 18 -20 minutes.
Top with ice cream & enjoy!
Lesson Learned: Before attempting to make chocolate chip cookies- make sure you have the chocolate chips! We were done making the dough for our cookies when I realized- we didn’t have any chips. Uh-Oh. So we improvised and I think the result turned out great! In fact, I will be making this on purpose from now on!

I LOVE Red Hot Candies. I can eat them by the handful! These cupcakes are so good if you are a fan of them as well!
Ingredients:
White Cake Mix + Required Ingredients (usually water, eggs and oil)
1/2 cup Red Hot Candies- crushed into chunks (Tip: place in a Freezer bag and use a meat tenderizing hammer to crush. Don’t crush too finely- you want small chunks not powder.)
Frosting of Choice
Directions:
Mix cake batter according to directions.
GENTLY mix in crushed red hot candies. Do not over mix or batter will become pink (well of course if you want pink batter- mix away!)
Bake according to directions.
Frost.

A while ago I purchased too many bananas. I was afraid we were going to be having a bunch of banana bread- something no one really likes in my family!
Instead I decided to pull out my beloved chocolate and make some Banana Dippers.
Ingredients:
Bananas
Dipping Chocolate
Nuts (optional)
Directions:
Slice Bananas and place on wax or parchment paper on a baking sheet.
Place in freezer until solid.
Melt Chocolate according to directions.
Dip Bananas in Chocolate and if desired top with pecan or other nut.
Allow to cool and harden on parchment or wax paper in freezer.
Store in Freezer.
Enjoy!
O.M.Gosh. These are the best things since sliced bread! Someone sent me a picture of these and I just HAD to try these! I LOVE Chocolate covered pretzels but hate the mess and hate how long it takes to make them!
Ingredients:
Hershey’s Hugs
Square Pretzels
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place Pretzel Squares on lined cookie sheet.
Place a single Hug on top of each pretzel.
Bake in oven until Hug begins to melt and is soft.
Remove from oven and “smush” a second pretzel on top of Hug creating a sandwich.
Place in refrigerator and allow chocolate to re-harden.
Enjoy!
