Colorful Fall Cookies


Ingredients
  1. 1 tube Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  2. 1/2 cup flour
  3. Betty Crocker gel food coloring (red, orange, yellow)
  4. 1/2 cup turbinado sugar
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Sprinkle flour over Pillsbury sugar cookie dough, knead until well combined.
  3. Split dough into three equal portions. Place a teaspoon of red, orange, or yellow food gel onto each portion. Knead until the dough is fully colored.
  4. Tear small pieces of the dough off, roll into balls, then place each ball into a “checkerboard” pattern, making sure the colors are all mixed up. Pat the colored dough balls together.
  5. Sprinkle turbinado or sparkling sugar over the dough, then use a wooden rolling pin to roll the dough to about 1/4″ thick.
  6. With a sharp knife, cut dough into teardrop-shaped leaves. Press the knife gently into the center of the leaf to create a leaf impression. Transfer each cookie to a baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or just until the center of each cookie has set.

Chocolate Crunch Ice Cream Dessert


Ingredients
  1. 1 12-count (3.5 oz each) box ice cream sandwiches: vanilla, chocolate chip or mint flavor
  2. 1 (11.75 oz) jar hot fudge ice cream sauce
  3. 2 cups Chocolate Cheerios (plus extra for garnish if desired)
  4. 1 (12 oz) tub whipped topping, thawed
  5. 1 (7 oz) Betty Crocker Decorating Cookie Icing, chocolate flavor
  6. 1 (7 oz) Betty Crocker Decorating Cookie Icing, red
  7. maraschino cherries with stems (for garnish, if desired)
Instructions
  1. Unwrap ice cream sandwiches and place in a 9×13″ pan to cover bottom. Cut sandwiches to fit as needed. You may have one sandwich leftover, depending on the brand of sandwiches you use. Allow sandwiches to sit at room temperature a couple minutes, then press slightly to spread ice cream to edges of pan.
  2. Microwave hot fudge sauce slightly, if needed, so it is easy to spread. Be careful not to heat too much so the fudge doesn’t melt the ice cream. Pour fudge over ice cream sandwiches and spread in an even layer.
  3. Sprinkle Chocolate Cheerios evenly over fudge layer.
  4. Spread thawed whipped topping over Cheerios layer.
  5. Drizzle cookie icing over whipped topping layer in any pattern as desired.
  6. Freeze ice cream dessert for 3 hours or more until firm. (May be made a day ahead.) Allow to sit on counter a few minutes before slicing with a sharp knife dipped in hot water. Garnish if desired (see below) and serve immediately.
  7. Optional garnish: Drain maraschino cherries. Set a cherry on top of each slice, stem up, and press lightly into whipped topping as needed. Thread Chocolate Cheerios on cherry stems and serve immediately.

Corn on the Cob Cake Pops


Ingredients
  1. 1 Box Betty Crocker “Butter Recipe Yellow” Cake Mix, cooked according to package instructions
  2. 2 cups Betty Crocker ready-to-spread frosting
  3. 2 cups white chocolate chips or white almond bark
  4. 6 cups yellow jelly beans
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, use your fingers or a whisk to crumble the prepared cake. Then combine it with the frosting until evenly mixed. Freeze the mixture for 10-15 minutes, or until chilled.
  2. Grease a small aluminum can (I used a tomato paste can) with butter or cooking spray. Then carefully press some of the chilled cake pop mix into the can or mold, and then squeeze the can and pound on the bottom of the can until the molded cake pop comes out. Repeat 4-5 more times with additional cake pops, then freeze until the edges are firm and chilled.
  3. Meanwhile, in a microwave or double boiler, heat the white chocolate or almond bark until melted, stirring occasionally. Spoon some of the chocolate onto one of the ends of a chilled “cob”, and then place the yellow holder in the end. Repeat on the other side.
  4. Lay the cob on its side, then spoon a small strip of chocolate along the length of the cob. Quickly press the jelly beans into the chocolate in a single-file row before the chocolate hardens. Repeat with more choc

DIY Gift Wrap Organizer


I don’t know how many times I’ve bought gift wrap only to use half of it, and then forget about the rest because it’s buried deep in the back of my closet (probably crumpled and useless). I love this idea because you can hang it anywhere you’d like on a wall and then easily move it later if needed. It’s really rather simple, too! Curtain rods, hooks, and a picture frame.

Crepes Supreme with Nutella


Ingredients
  1. 1 1/8 cups flour
  2. 1 tbsp sugar
  3. pinch salt
  4. 3 eggs, beaten
  5. 1 1/2 cups milk
  6. 1 tbsp butter, melted and cooled
  7. 1 tbsp brandy
  8. Nutella
  9. 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Instructions
  1. Whisk together the flour, sugar and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat together eggs and milk.
  3. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients.
  4. Stir until batter is smooth.
  5. Fold in melted butter and brandy.
  6. Let batter rest for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  7. Heat a 5 to 6-inch round skillet or frying pan over medium-low to medium heat until very hot.
  8. Spray pan with nonstick cooking spray. Remove the pan from the flame and add a dab of butter. The butter should sizzle when it hits the pan. Quickly rotate the pan to distribute the butter.
  9. Add a tablespoon or two of batter. Quickly rotate the pan to cover the pan bottom with the crepe batter.
  10. Return the pan to the flame and cook until the top of the crepe looks dry and the underside is light golden.
  11. Flip the crepe and cook for a few seconds more. The underside does not need to be browned, but it should be dry. Some cooks omit this step, and if a cook decides to do this, make sure the top side of the crepe is thoroughly cooked. It will be dry and golden brown in spots.
  12. Immediately flip the crepe out of the pan and onto a plate.
  13. Stack the crepes between squares of waxed paper.
  14. Continue cooking until all the batter is used up.
  15. Crepes can be kept warm on a wire rack, placed on a baking sheet, and tucked inside a 250 degrees F oven.
  16. Lay a crepe on a dessert plate. Add a good spoonful of Nutella to the flat crepe.
  17. Roll up crepe into a cigar shape. Press crepe gently to evenly distribute the Nutella filling, if desired.
  18. Serve with a dollop of freshly whipped cream sweetened with a bit of sugar and flavored with vanilla or brandy, if desired.
