Kid-Friendly Frozen Cheesecake Snacks

feeds@kickapps.com (Shamrock) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:14:52 GMT

Graham Crackers
Cherry Pie Filling
Philadelphia Brand Ready To Eat Cheesecake Filling

Break the graham crackers into squares. Have the kids spread the crackers with an even 1/2 to 3/4 inch of the cheesecake filling. Top this with a spoonful of the cherry pie filling and freeze. You could also just freeze it without the cherries and top them when you pull the cheesecake crackers out of the freezer to serve.

Quick, easy, yummy.

Dark Chocolate Brownies on the Cheap

feeds@kickapps.com (Shamrock) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:10:26 GMT

Betty Crocker brownie boxes can be bought at a lot of places right now for around a buck. Check your Walmart to see if they are carrying them. Prepare the mix as directed but add in about a teaspoon of instant coffee. Spread into your pan and top with peanut butter chips. Cook as directed. Serve warm (and still gooey from the oven) with inexpensive vanilla ice cream or dairy dessert, which some places are carrying now for as low as a dollar, too, in the carton.

feeds@kickapps.com (Shamrock) — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 14:49:00 GMT

We have had HUGE 4th of July parties here mostly cause my son's birthday is on the 2nd of July so the whole family comes over to celebrate that, as well. I have found that it is SO HOT and there is so much to eat, that my desserts go kind of untouched.

I've learned to serve a FLAG dish early, and with the bbq.

Cut a large, long watermelon in half. Create a square in the upper left corner with canned whipped topping. (Don't go overboard, you want a thin area...

Butter Cookies

feeds@kickapps.com (Chaffy) — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 07:36:44 GMT

This is my mom's recipe and we make them every year usually at Christmas time and every year we say, "I don't know why we don't make these year round. They are so good!"

1 lb butter, softened
This recipe is designed for kids to bake. It's incredibly easy with no mixing involved. Canned fruits are dumped into a baking pan, topped with cake mix, butter, and nuts, then baked. The result is something in between a cake and a cobbler, and amazingly delicious. Adults will also love this recipe.
