Banana Cake Mix Cookies

May 7, 2013 By Jerri @ Simply Sweet Home 2 Comments

I love cake mix recipes, and I especially love cake mix cookies! Over the weekend I had a couple of ripe bananas that needed to be eaten, so I decided to look up a recipe for Banana Cake Mix Cookies! I used a recipe I found over at Best Ever Cookie Collection, making just a couple of slight changes. And their recipe was based on one found in Cake Mix Cookies by Camilia V. Salisbury.

My cookies turned out absolutely sweet and delicious, and I’d definitely make them again! If you love banana, you should give them a try too! Hope you enjoy!

Peanut Butter Bon Bons

March 6, 2013 By Jerri @ Simply Sweet Home 6 Comments

This no-bake recipe uses easy-to-find ingredients and makes a huge batch, making it perfect for feeding a crowd. Best of all, if you have to cater to a large group with a variety of food restrictions, it’s easy to make this recipe gluten free and dairy free – but nobody will be able to tell the difference as they come back for second and third helpings. All you need is a plastic bag, a few bowls, a freezer or fridge-freezer and voila! Be careful though, or more peanut butter bon bons will end up in your stomach than on the serving platter – the completely addictive flavour, satisfying texture and small serving size is a dangerous combination.

Cheesecake Puppy Chow

December 23, 2012 By Jerri @ Simply Sweet Home 4 Comments

It’s time for one more last minute holiday treat! I’m sure you’ve seen or heard of Puppy Chow. Well, today I’ve got some Cheesecake Puppy Chow for you! It only takes 4 ingredients, and you can make it up in minutes, so it’s perfect for a little Christmas Eve snacking or for that New Year’s party that is just around the corner!

I’m sure everyone has had puppy chows or muddies during the holiday season. Today I’ve got a fun and sweet new take on this recipe to share with you: Cheesecake Puppy Chow.

Cheesecake Puppy Chow

Ingredients:

9 Cups Kellogg's Crispix Cereal (or Chex if you prefer)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened.

1 cup white chocolate chips

1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar

Directions:

1. Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave. Stop every 10 to 15 seconds to prevent scorching and ensure even heating throughout. (You can also use a double boiler on low heat, if you prefer.)

2. Add softened cream cheese and mix until smooth. (You may want to heat the cream cheese to be sure that it goes in nice and smooth.)

3. Add cereal a little at a time and stir until coated.

4. Pour powdered sugar into large zipper bag. Add coated cereal and shake until well coated. Store in airtight container.
