Jello Watermelon

June 23, 2015 by Jenn

Watermelon is definitely a popular fruit for summer time . . . but I knew there was a way to make it even better than it is.  So, I filled it with JELLO! 

I present to you a watermelon filled with Jello and chocolate chip “seeds”.

How to Make Decorated Oreos- No Bake

March 3, 2015 by Jenn

This is SUCH an easy idea.  It’s so easy, I’m  kind of embarrassed to show it to you.  We all need something easy to do once in a while, right??  I also like that this is another No Bake idea, and anything no-bake is bound to be simple!

No Bake Oreo Marshmallow Bars (Cookies and Cream Bars)

February 19, 2015 by Jenn

Oreos and marshmallows make a great combination . . . who would have thought?  I’m making these bars, which are super simple, as I have a big cake project in the plans, and you need to know how to make these before I get to the special video!

 There is a lot of flexibility when it comes to these bars.  You can add extra marshmallows, or extra cookies to change the way that the bars taste and feel.  The more cookies you add, the crunchier the bars will be.  And vise versa, the more marshmallows you add, the chewier the bars will be.   I would also take a guess and say that mixing in a different flavour of sandwich cookie would be good too.  Maybe any cookie would work!?!  If you try that out, let me know!

Popcorn Cake (No Bake)

February 11, 2015 by Jenn
I love popcorn.  It’s my vice in the evenings.  Really, it’s probably a habit that I should quit, but I just can’t quit it.  Yet.  But I should try. Soon.  Maybe.  But I like it!  Years ago, my friend Kim introduced me to the wonders of popcorn with Smarties.  Say what?  Popcorn and chocolate?  OMG,  Everyday I curse and applaud her for this.  Thank you dear friend. 
 
Well, now that you have direct proof of my mental struggle with food, I will move on to the actually reason you are here reading this, and that is for the Popcorn Cake! 
 

If you love a salty and sweet combination, which I also love, but we don’t want to get into that, this is the perfect no-bake cake for you! Start out with a basic recipe that you might find for rice krispies treats (marshmallows and butter), and add in any of your favourite small candies or chocolates, press it into a cake pan, and ta-da!  A popcorn cake!

No Bake Nutella Oreo Cheesecake

August 21, 2014 by Jenn
When I taught you how to make your own Nutella in my previous post on the weekend, there was rumour of a hazelnut shortage.  Well, now, four days later IT’S TRUE!  Get to the store and hoard the hazelnuts as they’re predicting the cost of Nutella to rise dramatically due to flooding in Turkey, where 70% of the world’s hazelnuts are grown.  I also learned recently that we have hazelnut farms here in British Columbia, so the next time that I make to the Coast, I’m going to have to go and check one out!
 
Now that I’ve added to the hazelnut panic, I’d like you to go and make some homemade Nutella, and use it to make this cheesecake.  This is one of the most delicious, amazing, drool-worthy cheesecakes I have ever eaten, never-mind made.  Being that the cheesecake is a no-bake recipe, the layers remain light and fluffy once they are set.  I also tried a baked version of this recipe, and I felt that this one was far better.  I definitely prefer a light cheesecake over a heavy, dense one.
 
I went with a traditional cheesecake crust for this and used graham crackers.  I think that an Oreo crumb crust would be amazing as well, but I felt that the graham cracker crust made the Oreo cookies stand out more than they would have if the crust was all Oreo’s as well.  This no-bake cheesecake is also amazing without the additions of the Oreo’s and the Nutella.  I made them into cute  Cheesecake in a Jar a couple of months ago, so if you prefer a plain cheesecake, you’ll definitely love the basic recipe.
 
Thank goodness Oreo’s aren’t threatened, or this cheesecake would be bound for the endangered species list.

Candy Cane Marshmallow Pops

December 9, 2013 by Jenn

The weather here has been down right FREEZING!  I know I live in Canada, and I know it’s winter (well almost) but -30C is ridiculous!  There’s a wind chill to boot as well.  For the last couple of years, due to Paul’s “encouragement” I’ve tried to embrace winter.  It hasn’t worked.  Yet.  I’m trying again this year, and decided to buy a down jacket, and adult snow pants (do you know they make those things without overalls now?!)  So with my down jacket, and Ugg boots (no snowpants though . . . I’m saving those for ice fishing) we left the house yesterday and went for a walk.  For 20 minutes.  It was all we could handle . . . well, it was all I could handle.  I’m sure Paul could have gone for much longer as I’m a wimp.  My jacket kept me super warm and I enjoyed my new purchase until my face froze and my legs froze and I had those to complain about.  Complaining is what I do best after all.

After our outside jaunt, I was desperate to be warmed up, and a warm cup of hot chocolate was in order.  These candy cane marshmallow pops are super quick to assemble, and add delightful tastes to your warm cup of hot chocolate!  They would also be delicious in a cup of coffee.
