: Life is hard. God is good. We need each other.
Peanut butter. Butterscotch. Cornflakes.
That’s all you need for this rich and tasty no-bake cookie. We like to add sprinkles, since they are a Christmas cookie staple. And I mean staple…My youngest told me recently that we could nix any other cookie from our annual Christmas cookie menu before skipping this treat.
My two cookie contributions this year were these gems and white chocolate dipped Oreos, another non-negotiable if you ask my family.
This dessert just kind of screams fresh. It’s the perfect sweet treat for spring or summer. Everybody loves it, and everyone can make it their own. I’ve made it for Easter dinner for several years now.
Big hit.
It’s also a winner when you’ve got folks who don’t eat chocolate (I know…weird, right?!) And my picky kids even love this.
Like I said, big hit.
And it’s so stinkin’ easy to make, it’s kind of embarrassing.
Sometimes, I am not my mother’s daughter. I run late..a lot. And I forget things. Lots of things. Things like when I’m in charge of bringing snacks for after church.
I’ll admit it’s gotten better since I’ve been paired with my niece. She is much more like my mom. Organized. Totally on top of things. She typically texts me during the week to ask what I’m bringing, which is usually my reminder that I’m on treat duty that Sunday. (Thanks, Steph!)
Do you have a favorite meal of the year? Maybe it’s Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings? A special New Years Day menu? I’ve been saying for years that our Christmas brunch is my favorite meal of the year, but I realized recently that it may be tied with our Mother’s Day brunch.
Notice a theme? This girl likes brunch.
Do you usually make dessert for dinner? Unless we have guests, I don’t. But every once in a while it’s nice to surprise my guys with a sweet treat, and these cuties are one of my favorites.
Each person getting their own little cake in a jar…adorable! The cuteness is lost on the boys, but being the only girl in the house, I am used to that.
They love them because they’re totally delish.
Have you ever had an ‘a-ha’ moment in the kitchen? I was talking to my dulce de leche loving niece recently about recipes using the sweet elixir of the gods when lightening struck.
One of the easiest cookie recipes I’ve made uses a can of sweetened condensed milk. Dulce de leche is sweetened condensed milk that has been caramelized. TA-DA!
Guess what I made the next day?
