Desserts???
I want to start making desserts... baking..etc. Can anybody tell/send me some good recipes?? xoxo
Answers:
Here is a SUPER easy (and cheap) recipe and it tastes like a million bucks. Not only that, I have yet to meet someone who doesn't like it.
Ingredients:
1 large box of Jell-o chocolate pudding
1 small tub of CoolWhip
1 package of Oreos
(you can also add 1 large candy bar of Butterfinger too if you want)
Make the chocolate pudding. After it sets, mix in the whipped topping together. Crush the Oreos (and Butterfinger if desired); I put them in a Ziploc bag and do it that way so not to make so much mess. Then, in a bowl or dish, you can layer pudding, crush Oreos (and Butterfinger if desired), pudding, Oreos, etc. Or you can just mix it all together. Then chill it in the fridge. Serve when you want dessert!
It comes out tasting like a chocolate mousse almost with the perfect addition of crunch in the Oreos/Butterfinger and tastes pretty upscale considering the fact the ingredients only cost like $5 altogether. Always a winner!!! Enjoy!!
