Directions:
sand pudding cups
Serves 8
Ingredients:
-
4 oz. cream cheese softened
-
¼ C butter softened
-
½ C powdered sugar
-
8 oz. cool whip
-
1 box instant white chocolate pudding or vanilla
-
1 ½ C milk
-
1 package Golden Oreos or vanilla wafers
-
Drink umbrellas
-
Clear cups
Directions:
1. Begin by smashing up Oreos. I put mine in my food processor and blended until they were crumbs. Set aside.
2. Mix cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar with mixer in a medium bowl. Fold in cool whip until well blended.
3. In a separate bowl mix pudding mix and milk with a whisk. Once combined well, add pudding to cream cheese mixture.
4. Place a few tablespoons of oreo crumbs in your cup or small jar. Add some of the creamy mixture (I do this by adding the creamy mixture to a gallon bag and cutting off the corner so it goes in the jar more easily.) Bang down on a wash cloth on the table to get all bubbles out. Add a few more tablespoons of oreo Crumbs. Top off with some more cream mixture and sprinkle on a few more crumbs. Top off with more crumbs and a drink umbrella.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.

funfetti cake batter cookie bars
Ingredients:
Serves 32
-
1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) sugar cookie mix
-
1 box (15.75 oz) white cake mix
-
3 large eggs
-
1 C (2 sticks) melted butter
-
1 tsp. vanilla extract
-
3 Tbsp. rainbow sprinkles
-
frosting
-
½ C butter, softened
-
1 ½ C powdered sugar
-
2-4 Tbsp. milk (I use 4 Tbsp. heavy cream)
-
¼ tsp. almond extract
-
additional sprinkles for garnish
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
3. In large mixing bowl, combine the dry sugar cookie mix, dry cake mix, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Beat with a handheld blender until combined. About 1 minute.
4. Add in the sprinkles and very gently (so the colors don't bleed) stir in the sprinkles using a wooden spoon or spatula. Dump the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread out evenly. It helps if you drop it all over the baking dish, instead of just one big pile. Use your hands to help spread it out.
5. Cook for 30-32 minutes. Edges will be golden brown and the center will look done and slightly puffy. Let cool completely, about 1 hour.
To make frosting:
1. Use a handheld blender and beat the butter in a mixing bowl until creamy.
2. Add in the powdered sugar, almond extract, and start with 1 tablespoon milk. Blend together and add additional milk until you get a spreadable consistency. They higher fat milk you use, the more you may need. If you use skim or 1% milk you will need less of it.
3. Spread the frosting over the cooled cookie bars. Sprinkle some additional sprinkles over top the frosting.
4. Cut into bars right away and serve or they can be refrigerated (if wanted) or left at room temperature, until you serve them.
Recipe Notes: This is a great recipe to change up the sprinkles for different Holidays. Get some Christmas sprinkles and make Christmas cookie bars, or Valentine's Day colors, or Halloween.

4 oz. fresh raspberries

For the raspberry swirl:
1. Add raspberries and 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar to a food processor and pulse until well pureed, about 30 seconds - 1 minute. Press mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl (basically until there are only seeds remaining in strainer, you should get quite a bit out of it). Set aside.
For the cheesecake filling:
1.0In a mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and flour.
2. Add cream cheese and lemon zest using an electric hand mixer, blend mixture just until smooth.
3. Mix in eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla and sour cream just until combined. Tap bowl forcefully against countertop, about 10 times, to release large air bubbles.
4. Divide mixture evenly among cups over crust layer, adding about 1/3 cup to each and filling nearly full. Jiggle pan to level cheesecake filling then dollop about 5 small circle of raspberry sauce over each cupcake, about ¾ tsp. total over each one.
5. Using a toothpick, swirl raspberry filling with cheesecake mixture to create a marbled design.
6. Bake in preheated oven 22 - 25 minutes until cupcakes are puffed and nearly set (they might crack a little but they will deflate while cooling and you won't even see it). Remove from oven and allow to cool completely, then chill in refrigerator 3 hours, until set. Store in refrigerator in an airtight container.

ultimate chocolate chip muffins
Ingredients:
-
2 ¾ C all-purpose flour
-
1 Tbsp. baking powder
-
1 ¼ tsp. baking soda

½ tsp. salt
-
½ C unsalted butter, melted and cooled
-
1 ¼ C sugar
-
3 large eggs
-
½ C milk
-
3 tsp. vanilla
-
2 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
Optional – 1 tbsp coarse sugar – the clear kind that's used for decorating confections,etc.
Directions:
Serves 12
1. Pre-heat the oven to 425°F.
2. Using cooking spray coat the muffin pan. Make sure that the whole top is covered, not just the part that the batter goes into. Place paper muffin/cupcake liners into the muffin pan.
3. Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl and mix with a whisk so that everything is well combined. Stir in 1 ¾ C of the chocolate chips.
4. In a separate bowl combine all the wet ingredients, making sure the eggs are well incorporated as well.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. IMPORTANT: If you stir too much the muffins will become too dense and more like a puck. You want the muffins to be fluffy and moist just stir everything until the dry ingredients just combine with everything.
6. Scoop out the batter evenly into each section of the muffin pan. Sprinkle the tops of the batter with the remaining chocolate chips and the coarse sugar.
7. Bake in the oven for 7 minutes at 425°F then reduce the heat to 375°F and bake for 15-20 min.
Once the muffins are finished baking cool in the muffin pan for 5-10 minutes.
