Treasure Chest

Scrumptious!!


If you like easy ice cream desserts, (and I do), you will love this one! It has in it everything that is delicious! Well, not quite everything but it has coconut, chopped pecans, crunchy Rice Krispies, butter, brown sugar, and ice cream. It's hard to go wrong with a combination like that, eh?! It is great eaten plain or with any ice cream topping you prefer. Today I made strawberry topping. YUM!!


I will share the topping recipe in another post. As simple as it is, it deserves it's own blog post because it's better than any boxed Danish Dessert you've ever made.☺

Preheat oven to 300°.

For the crust:
2 cups Rice Krispies
½ cup pecans, chopped
½ cup flake coconut
1/3 cup butter, melted
½ cup brown sugar

Vanilla Ice Cream, (approx. 1 gal.)

Mix the first 3 ingredients and. Spread evenly in a shallow pan and toast in the oven for 15 minutes or till toasted to your preference.


 Stir every five minutes so it toasts evenly. Remove from oven and add butter and brown sugar.


Press on bottom and up the sides of  a 9 x 13 pan. Reserve some crumbs for the top. Freeze.


Spoon ice cream onto frozen crust and allow to sit for a bit so it spreads easier.


Spread evenly and top with reserved crumbs.


Enjoy!

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
