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!
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!
Choose a great tasting apple to use for dipping. I went with Honeycrisp and I was worried at first that they would be too sweet with the caramel and chocolate, but they were perfect! When I took the apples to a work function, the thing that my coworkers liked best was the combination of flavours with the type of apple I had chosen.
Choosing which additional toppings to put onto the apples has endless possibilities! I chose three that I thought would make great combinations, but you can change them up however you would want to. My favourite of the three was the peanut butter one. I think it was because of the combination of saltiness of the peanut butter items and the sweetness of the caramel and apple! Whichever one you choose, they’re all delicious!!
I have a small obsession with Birthday Cake Oreos….well, really anything cake batter flavoured! Why is cake BATTER, such a delicious flavour? Have you tried birthday cake ice cream from Cold Stone?? OMG! It is soooo delicious. Anyway, when the birthday cake Oreos first came out, I was devastated that they would go away as quickly as they appeared, but thank goodness, they’re still on shelves. You’re going to need to pick yourself up a package of them for this recipe…and an extra package to snack on!
So we roped Kelli into doing another video with us! It’s so much fun to be able to work on camera with friends and family. She has been an incredible support and says she likes doing the videos, so we’re booking her in when we can!
In this video you’ll see us make a deliciously fattening Oreo milkshake! I don’t think you could find a drink with more fat and sugar than this one! So if you’re on a diet, don’t watch it! I’m warning you.
In the last couple of weeks, I have made over 700 cupcakes. Jebus. That is A LOT of cupcakes when I take a moment to think about it. To add to that, I have probably made about 10 cakes, 2 of which were HUGE wedding cakes!
But, there comes a time when it is so much fun to make something new! When I saw this post on ….. I knew that I had to make them for the upcoming market. Adding them my arsenal of cupcakes, cakes and cookies at the farmers market proved to be successful!
I have never actually worked with pie dough before, and I realize know that I have enter a whole new realm of the baking world. It’s not so simple as throwing together some cake batter in my KitchenAid Mixer! Due to my time constraint, rookie status, I opted for a pre-made pie dough . . . *GASP* . . . I know, I know, but since then I have tracked down a recipe that I will try for upcoming pie postings. Everyone can let out their collective sighs of relieve . . . now. Phewf.
This recipe is not my genius . . . though I am thinking of a variation of it . . . can that be called “mine”? It comes from one of the websites that I frequent for new and awesome ideas. The combination of Oreo, Peanut Butter and Pie Crust, is simple, amazing . . . and definitely requires a cold glass of milk near by!
I have no idea where Jenny of Picky Palate gets her amazingly simple ideas from, but she is brilliant in my eyes. She is the one who created the Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip cookie that has become a blogosphere sensation!
Oreo Peanut Butter Mini Pies
Should I be sharing my recipes now that I’m making them for money? Hmmm, that is the question . . . oh well, I’ll worry about that another day and give you this pictorial!
First, I have to start off telling you that there is an Oreo in the bottom of this cupcake! How great is that?! As soon as I saw the bottom of the cupcake tin with the Oreo in it, I HAD to make this cupcake and add it to my repertoire.
Is it love for you too?
I try to stay away from Oreo’s . . . and the entire cookie aisle when shopping because cookies and I don’t get along well. In fact, they make me so mad, that I have to eat all of them! Imagine my fright when I had to buy the SUPERSIZED box of Oreo’s for this recipe. I was worried none of them would make it to the bowl.
First off start whipping up the batter . . . eggs, sugar, butter.
Add in the flour . . .
Now for the best part, mix in quartered Oreo’s! HUGE chunks on top of the half Oreo! Good Lord.
Spoon into cupcake tins, and you’re ready to bake these bites of gooey Oreo goodness! It took every ounce of self control to resist spooning this batter out of the cups and into my mouth!
It’s Oreo-delicious!
