Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake

This is the easiest dessert you could ever make. It's inexpensive, full of flavor and feeds a lot of people. I got this from The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond, who I adore and I tweaked a couple of things. 

Ingredients:

1 regular can of crushed pineapple

2 regular cans of cherry pie filling

1/2 cup sugar 

2 sticks of butter

1 box of yellow cake mix

Directions: 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

Mix both cans of cherry pie filling and crushed pineapple with the juice and place in a 9X13 cake pan or glass dish. Sprinkle sugar evenly over the top of the cherry pineapple mixture. Place the yellow cake mix on top of the cherry pineapple mixture and spread. From the two sticks of butter, slice squares of butter and place in rows on top of the cake mix. You want to make sure the butter covers most of the surface of the cake mix or it don't bake properly. Stick it I'm the oven for 45 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream. Yum! 

S'mores Krispy Treats

This recipe is awesome, easy, and will have your kitchen smelling like homemade waffle cones! Yum!!!

Ingredients:

12 oz box of Golden Grahams cereal

2 Hershey's Milk Chocolate candy bars

12 oz pkg mini marshmallows

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/4 cup of sugar

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Directions: 

In a medium sauce pan, melt your butter and watch carefully for it not to burn. While your butter is melting, chop up your chocolate bars and set aside. You might want to put the chopped chocolate in the freezer for a few minutes to keep it from melting. Next, fill a large bowl with all of the Golden Grahams and set aside. 

Once your butter is completely melted, add in your 12 oz pkg of mini marshmallows. Stir continuously until melted. Once mixture is completely melted, add in the sugar and the vanilla and stir to combine well. 

Next, pour the marshmallow mixture over the Golden Grahams and mix well. Once the mixture is completely combined, add in your chocolate from the freezer and mix together. 

Pour into a 9 X 13 cake pan or dish and pat down to secure in place. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes or until set.

Enjoy!

*Note: wash your pans immediately. There is NOTHING harder to get off than hardened sticky marshmallow mixture. It hardens fast.
