Cheesecake Strawberries

I just LOVE making things that are simple but delicious.  This isn't even a recipe, but I guarantee if you take them to a party they will be gone in no time. 

Ingredients:

Fresh strawberries - washed, hulled, and a little bit of the bottoms sliced off so they stand up

Philadelphia Cream Cheese cheesecake filling 

Crushed graham crackers

Put cheesecake filling into a gallon-sized plastic bag.  Cut off a small corner of bag.  Pipe filling into strawberries.  Sprinkle graham crackers over top.  Sit back and watch them disappear, absorbing the praise that is inevitably coming your way. 

Butterfinger Poke Cake

I'm not a big dessert eater, but my co-workers sure are.  We had a potluck at work recently and I came across this recipe for Butterfinger Poke Cake on Plain Chicken's blog.  The whole thing was gone in no time, much to the dismay of my husband who was hoping to have some of the leftovers.  So I had to make another one the very next weekend when we went to my in-laws' house to celebrate my FIL's birthday!  Again, gone in no time.  If you like Butterfingers, you will love this!

Ingredients:
1 box yellow cake mix, plus ingredients to make the cake
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 jar Smucker's caramel ice cream topping
1 (8oz) tub Cool Whip
4 regular sized Butterfingers, crushed 

Bake cake in a 9x13-inch pan according to direction on the package.  While cake is baking, mix milk and caramel topping until well blended. When the cake is done and while it's still hot, poke holes in it with a fork or straw. Pour milk mixture over the cake. Allow cake to cool completely.  Sprinkle two candy bars over cake. Spread Cool Whip over the top, then sprinkle the remaining candy bars on top. Chill until serving.

Super Duper Easy Rolo Cake Cookies

Just LOOK at what I came across on Pinterest:

Holy deliciousness, Batman. And they are EASY. Well worth the time spent painstakingly unwrapping a zillion Rolos.  Do your family a favor and make this immediately.  But do it when they're not around, because you will fool them into thinking you really went all out. 

Ingredients: 

1 box Devil's Food cake mix

2 large eggs

1/3 C. vegetable oil

Rolos

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix together cake mix, eggs, and oil.  Grab a small piece of dough - smaller than ping-pong ball sized - and form around one Rolo.  Repeat until all of the dough is used or you're out of candy, whichever comes first.  Bake for 8-9 minutes.  Let cool on a rack and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
