Chocolate Pudding with Swiss Rolls

Chocolate Pudding with Swiss Rolls

 

 

 

Ingredients: box of chocolate pudding mix (and all it calls for), whipped topping, and swiss rolls.

 

 

First you mix the chocolate pudding mix according to the box and refrigerate it for a little bit. While this is in the fridge it is the perfect time to cut the swiss rolls. It depends on your taste for how many swiss rolls you want to add to the mix. I generally add a half a box of swiss rolls with one box of pudding. The swiss rolls need to be cut fairly small. Then when you are almost ready to serve the pudding you add in the whipped topping. Slowly fold in the whipped topping into the pudding until it turns a lighter brown. You can add as much or as little according to your taste. I prefer to add a lot of whipped topping it makes the pudding taste like chocolate mousse. Then after it is all mixed together it is time to layer the pudding. To layer the pudding you start with swiss rolls. Put as many or as few as you would like in the bottom of the bowl. Then layer in the pudding mixture and then continue this until you use all of the mixtures. You should end with pudding on the top. For garnish you can add the crumbs from cutting the swiss rolls and or canned whipped cream.

Meringue Cookies

These meringue cookies are super easy to make and are very addictive. The recipe calls for 2 egg whites (room temp), 1/8 tsp of salt, 1/8 tsp cream of tartar, 1/2 tsp vanilla, and 1/2 cup sugar.  The oven needs to be on 225 degrees. To make the cookies you mix the egg whites, salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla in the mixer at a high speed until it starts to get frothy then you slowly add in the sugar. You have to add in the sugar slowly so that you do not collapse the meringue. You need to mix it full speed until peaks start to form. Then use two spoons and spoon small dabs onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake for an hour switching the pans halfway through. After the hour is up turn off the oven and leave the cookies in for a couple of hours. And then you have meringue cookies. They are like little pieces of candy heaven.

Nothing Says Father's Day Like Donuts and Candy

Nothing Says Father's Day like Donuts and Candy

 

        Father's Day is one of the hardest things to buy for. It is hard to buy for men because if they want something they go out and buy it. For my dad the way to his heart is definitely food. He really enjoys Krispy Kreme donuts so I got him a boxful of those and then I saw an awesome idea on pinterest for a "World's Greatest Pop" jar. I modified this a little bit for it to relate to my dad and then put all of the stuff inside. In the bag it is popcorn and beef jerky which goes along with the jar it just did not fit inside.

• 1 package of fun sized butterfingers (crushed)

1. Mix the top ingredients together with an electric hand mixer.
2. Add about a cup and a half of milk to thin down the mix
3. Chill in the fridge until you are ready to use
4. When ready to use pour the mix into the ice cream maker and fill to an inch below the fill line

Smores Dip

Smores Dip is super easy to make and is a great twist on the traditional smore. I love it because it is not as messy as smores and because it is much easier to make. You do not have to worry about having a campfire.

 

First off for the ingredients you need 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows, 1 cup of chocolate chips (I prefer semi-sweet), 2 tablespoons of milk, and graham crackers.

 

To start off you need to mix 1 cup of chocolate chips, 1 cup of marshmallows, and 2 tablespoons of milk together in a pot on the stove. This will melt the marshmallows into the chocolate and make it ooey gooey yumminess. After you have all of this melted together on the stove you need to move it to a pan that can be put under a broiler or in the bottom of your oven. When you get it put into the pan you will put the remaining marshmallows on top. Then you will stick this under the broiler or in the bottom oven to brown the tops of the marshmallows. I turned my lower oven to 425 degrees because I do not have a broiler.

After all of this is done you can devour the yumminess with some graham crackers!

Got the Blues

 

These past few weeks have been crazy. My grandpa had been on hospice care and passed away on 4/30. While dealing with the visitation and funeral I wanted to look classy in a dark color but I still wanted to look young and fresh. So I went with a classic navy blue dress and my pop color was coral heels and a coral and gold necklace.
