SALTINE CRACKER CANDY | DESSERT RECIPE


This recipe was really, really easy to do, and it is such a fun treat that you could customize for every holiday. I made this back at Easter so I just added pink food coloring to one batch and purple to the next batch. You could add red and blue food coloring for July 4th coming up, or wait and make this around Christmas time and use red and green food coloring, or if you are making this for a football watch party, then you could use the appropriate food coloring for your favorite team! One batch does make a lot, so this is great for big family events, dinner parties, or a potluck at church.

Ingredients:
1 Cup of Butter (2 Sticks)
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Sleeve of Saltine Crackers
1 lb. Package of White Almond Bark Melted

Directions:
1. Melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat, bring to a boil and stir while boiling for 5 minutes
2. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil
3. Place crackers evenly on the foil pan
4. Pour sugar mixture over the crackers and spread evenly
5. Bake at 325 degrees for 8 minutes
6. While crackers are baking melt almond bark in the microwave using the directions on the package
7. Pour white chocolate over the cracker mixture and spread evenly
8. Top with your favorite sprinkles (optional)
9. Allow to cool completely and break into smaller pieces (throw the sheet in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to speed up this step if needed!)

WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP STRAWBERRY COOKIE | DESSERT RECIPE

This has to be one of my absolute favorite cookie recipes. I love anything with white chocolate and when you mix that with strawberry flavor, it's even better! 

Ingredients:
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1½ cups sugar
2 eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla
2½ cups flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 3.4-ounce strawberry jello pudding mix, dry
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 and very lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

2. In a large bowl cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until smooth.

3. In another bowl combine flour, salt, strawberry pudding mix (dry) and baking soda. Whisk to combine. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until all ingredients are incorporated. Gently stir in chocolate chips. Drop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough onto prepared cookie sheet, spacing each about 2-3 inches apart (they will spread quite a bit). 

4. Bake 10-12 minutes. 



As you can see, this recipe made a big batch. Perfect for a get together or potlucks this summer!

NO-CHURN VANILLA ICE CREAM | DESSERT

This ice cream recipe has been a hit at our house lately. It's soft and creamy and absolutely delicious. The best part about it is that it's only three ingredients and doesn't take a whole lot of effort. 

Ingredients
- 1 pint (2 cups) heavy cream
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 Tablespoons vanilla extract

Directions
1. Add the vanilla extract and sweetened condensed milk to a small bowl and mix well.
2. Add the heavy cream to a separate bowl (I used our stand mixer!) and whip on high for 3-4 minutes until stiff peaks form. Once that happens turn the mixer on low and slowly add in the vanilla extract/sweetened condensed milk mixture. Let that mix on low for 2 minutes, or until mixed together well.
3. Once mixed well, pour into a freeze-safe container (I put mine in a small bread loaf pan, and it worked like a charm!) and let it freeze for at least 6 hours to overnight. 


We let ours freeze overnight and then I set it out about 5 minutes before we served it, and it was easy to scoop and tasted delicious!
