Recently S was here for a visit. We love to bake together, and I love sharing my kitchen with this sweet young lady. We dug through recipes to find a few that caught our attention. We chose 2, one was an abject failure! We even made it twice, once according to the recipe and once in a simplified version. After 2 failures I sent the recipe to my best friend, she also failed so that recipe will never see the light of day here on the blog! The other recipe were these Caramel Butter Bars. I brought these to our worship team fellowship and they were gobbled up, some people ate 4-5 of them!

The nice thing about these bars is that they are easy to make and even my non-caramel loving son loved them! They aren’t too sweet and they pair well with tea, coffee, or hot cocoa so they are a great little treat.

These not-too-sweet bars are a perfect treat to pair with your favorite warm beverage.

Easy Recipes-Crockpot Cinnamon Spice Cake

cindy — Fri, 17 Jan 2014 11:05:20 +0000

Duncan Hines Spice Cake is my absolute favorite cake in the world. It has been my birthday cake for years and it was even my wedding cake! My spice cakes don’t have to be fancy, though I’m all for trying something new. I found a recipe on Pinterest for Crockpot Cinnamon Spice Cake and I knew I HAD to try it. Since it only took 2 hours in the crockpot I brought all of the ingredients and my crockpot to our small group meeting and prepared the cake there.we usually eat dinner, do our Bible study and then play games and eat dessert so I knew I had plenty of time to let it cook. Unfortunately, because I made it there, I forgot to take pictures of the preparation! Sorry

Easy Recipes-Choco-Banana Mallow Torte Recipe

cindy — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 10:46:20 +0000

Last month I bought some Nilla Wafers to make my Eclair Squares and there was a yummy looking recipe on the box. I made that recipe last week and now I am sharing it with you. Here one of my easy recipes- Choco-Banana Mallow Torte, which I tweaked a bit.

: Choco-Banana Mallow Torte

Ingredients

40 Nilla Wafers
3oz semi-sweet baking chocolate
3 cups miniature marshmallows, divided
2 cups milk, divided
1-2 bananas sliced
1 pkg (3.4oz) vanilla instant pudding
1.5 cups thawed Cool Whip, divided
0.5 cups semi-sweet morsels

Directions

The recipe calls for a 9″ springform pan. If you don’t have one a 9″ round or square pan will also work.
Arrange about 24 Nilla Wafers flat side down, on bottom of a parchment lined 9″ springform pan.
Microwave the semisweet baking chocolate, 1 cup marshmallows and 1/2 cup milk in a microwaveable bowl on high 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute. Then stir until smooth. Pour over wafers in pan.
Stand remaining wafers, rounded sides out, around the edge of the pan, pressing slightly into chocolate to secure; top with banana slices.
Beat pudding mix and remaining milk in a medium bowl with a wisk 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup whipped topping and remaining marshmallows; spread over bananas.
Refrigerate at least 4 hours.
Top torte with remaining Cool Whip. Sprinkle chocolate morsels on top of torte.
(If using springform pan) Run knife under warm running water; use to loosen dessert from rim of pan, remove rim.
