The first one is super easy and really yummy! I saw this in a magazine at CVS while waiting for a prescription, I didn't by the magazine but the recipe was easy enough to remember.
Snicker Nuggets
1 package Miniature Snickers
2 packages of 8 count crescents (any brand)
preheat oven 350
Cut crescent triangle into two triangles
Place snickers in center and fold edges up and pinch closed.
Bake for 9-11 minutes ( Crescents will be golden brown and snickers will be trying to ooze.
The recipe had melting Cream cheese and drizzling it on top.I think this is optional, I like it with out. You could also do a light dusting of powder sugar.
Oreo Balls
A friend brought these to Life Group and I fell in love.
1 package of Oreo Cookies
1 package of Cream Cheese
1/2 teaspoon of Vanilla
1 package of Almond Bark, White
Crumble the cookies, I did it in the food processor to get it fine enough. Could probably use a blender or mini chopper. I then dumped the crumbs into a bowl.
I put the cream cheese in the food processor with the vanilla pulsed it till it was smooth.
Then add the crumbs into the cream cheese mixture, I did it slowing just to make sure it mixed well.
Chill mixture for 2 hours in the freezer.
After the mixture has chilled, remove from freezer and form into balls. I used a melon baller if you don't have one you could use either a measuring spoon or table spoon.
Once you have the balls formed, melt the Almondbark in the Microwave.
Dip balls into the Almond bark and place on wax paper or parchment paper. Let cool and then place in a container or storage bags.
Gooey Butter Cake
Cake:
1 box yellow cake mix
1 Egg
1/2 cup butter melted
Filling:
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 16 0z box confectioner sugar ( I could not find a box, a bag is 32 oz)
1/2 cup butter melted.
Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 13x9 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, beat cake mix, egg and 1/2 cup of melted butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until combined. Press into the bottom of prepared pan; set aside.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese at low speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until smooth. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating well. Slowly add remaining 1/2 cup of melted butter, mixing well. Pour evenly over cake mixture.
Bake for 40-50 minutes or until center is slightly set. Cool completely and cut into squares to serve.
So I hope you enjoy these recipes.
Now to go back to the part about how I don't handle being home by myself well. So I am usually on high alert, the slightest noise does not go unheard. So Saturday night a couple of friends had been over and we had watched a movie and they left around 10p.m. I decided I would watch another movie. Around 11ish I paused the movie for a potty break. As I am walking from the livingroom to my bedroom, I hear a car door. Of course it is probably a neighbor no biggie. So I am in the bathroom and I hear someone trying to open my locked front door. Bailey starts barking, I start panicking and cautiously walk into the livingroom. Of Course I have every light on including both porch lights. There is no one there. I look out and I can't see anyone or anything. I sit on the couch looking in all directions with the movie still paused... heart pounding, praying for God's protection. Finally calm down convince myself it was probably someone trying to go to a neighbors house, we get at lot of confused people since there is a block that is place and one that is street. I did sleep on the couch until 5 just to make sure, I had no surprise visits. So needless to say I will be learning how to shoot our "home security" very soon.
