Need a dessert to impress that won't melt
Comments (17)Have fun on your boat ride/cruise! If you are leaning towards cookies or bars here are a couple of great ones that my group enjoy. ALMOND APRICOT BARS(Woodie) Prep: 15 min. Bake: 45 min. + cooling Source: Olga Wolkosky of Richmond, BC (Taste Of Home magazine) 2 cups vanilla or white chips, divided 1/2 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup all purpose flour 3/4 cup apricot jam 1/2 cup sliced almonds In microwave, melt 1 cup chips; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in melted chips and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour. Spread half of the batter into a greased 8 inch square baking dish. Bake at 325 for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Spread with jam. Stir remaining chips into remaining batter. Drop by tablespoonfuls over jam; carefully spread over top. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into 9 squares; cut squares in half diagonally, to make triangles. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen Posted by: Ginger_St_Thomas (My Page) on Sat, Dec 20, 03 at 19:58 Marlen's Chubby Hubby Cookies 2 cups butter or margarine, softened 1 cup sugar 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed 2 large eggs 2 Tablespoon vanilla extract 4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda Pinch of salt 1 12 oz pkg semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 12 oz pkg peanut butter chips 1 cup salted peanuts 2 cups crushed pretzels* Preheat oven to 350* degrees. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Blend into creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate and peanut butter chips, peanuts and pretzels. Drop by heaping tablespoons about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. bake 10-13 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned and centers are still soft. Do not overbake. Cool one minute on cookie sheet. Cool completely on wire racks. Store tightly in covered container. Source: Bob Zotto, Bruker AXS Cookbook Note from Marlen: The pretzels should be about the size of the chocolate chips, not pulverized. You want to taste bits of pretzel as you munch. This is a crunchy cookie. I use a food processor and just pulse until the desired size is achieved. David...See MoreNeed dessert suggestion for a Clambake
Comments (8)If you mean a real outside on the beach clam bake...I would go with a "grab and go" dessert like cookies or brownies. If you are having a "less sandy" affair, how about my famous ( or infamous!) apple cake with cake gravy? Apple Cake 4 cups chopped apples 1 ½ cups sugar ( can use ½ splenda) ½ cup raisins ( I use chopped other fruit like dried peaches or apricots or craisins) Mix and let sit for about an hour ( less is OK) 2 cups flour 1 1/2 tsps baking soda ( I like 3/4 tsps soda and 3/4 tsps BP) 3/4 tsps salt 1T cinnamon ¼ tsp nutmeg Mix dry ingredients 2 eggs 3/4 cups veggie oil 1 tsp vanilla beat together 1 cup chopped pecans if desired. Add the oil and eggs to the apples and sugar and dried fruit. Stir in the dry mixture and add nuts if desires. Pour into greased 9 by 13 pan and bake 350 until doneÂ..40 to 50 minutes. Serve with cake gravy! Cake Gravy Mix 1 cup sugar 1 stick butter 1/2 cup evap milk 1 tsp vanillaÂ. Mix all and cook all in a sauce pan for about 3 minutes. Serve warm over the cake....See Moreneed some 'healthy' dessert ideas please!

Comments (26)Well, the pie turned out great. I sliced the apples very thinly since that's how I like them and got positive comments about that. The pie wasn't beautiful but it tasted delicious. Thanks again for all the ideas. I will probably play around with the all shortening pie crust for the future. I was in a bit of a hurry when I made the pie so I might have mismeasured. BTW we played poker, six of us, and only two had ever played before. We played Texas Hold 'em mostly but then I wanted to shake things up a bit and taught them five card draw and seven card stud. We had a blast! We were very girly about it, any real poker player would've been tearing his/her hair out! But we had lots of laughs and lots of fun and can't wait to do it again!...See More- 7 years ago
