Peanut Butter Pudding Cup Surprise

April 26th, 2011 | Author: Toni-Lynn

One Sunday night I was in the mood to make the boys a quick and easy yet delicious treat. They ALWAYS are hungry when they get home for some reason. What I came up with really took no thought at all and it was fast and cute. They loved it!

Cool Whip whipped topping is an essential component to everyday desserts! You can see from the time stamps on my photos that this took literally less than 15 minutes to put together.

Pick your flavor and be creative! There are so many flavors of Jello Pudding available. I would have loved to been able to layer the chocolate with a something like the cheesecake or butterscotch flavor.

I simply mixed up a batch of Jello Pudding according to the box directions. I used the large box for this because I wanted to make 8 plastic cups.

Next, I filled each cup a little less than half full and placed a mini peanut butter cup in the middle.

Then, I topped it with Cool Whip and LIGHTLY sifted some Nesquik powered chocolate milk mix on top.

For the finishing touches I added a French Vanilla Jet-Puffed Snowman Marshmallow, a mini peanut butter cup and a few red and green sprinkles.

Recipe: Banana Walnut Bread

February 10th, 2011 | Author: Toni-Lynn

This can be made in a regular loaf pan. I used a Wilton 4 cavity mini loaf pan because that is what I own and it is much easier with the boys to slice off smaller pieces for them. I have included baking times for both below. (Click any image to enlarge) if you try it, let me know what you think! ENJOY!

Ingredients:

5-6 really ripe bananas
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs, room temp.
1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 cups Flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup of chopped Walnuts

Directions:

Preheat oven to 300 F. Grease and flour 2 loaf pans. I used a Wilton mini loaf pan. This took 50 minutes at 300. If you use a regular full loaf pan, bake for 60 minutes.In large bowl, mush peeled bananas with a hand mixer. Add butter, sugar, and eggs. Mix with hand mixer till combined, about a minute. Stir in vanilla. In separate bowl, sift together flour, soda, and salt. Add this and chocolate chips to wet mixture and fold w/rubber spatula until combined. Divide equally between 2 loaf pans and bake for 1 hour.
