Pretzel Raspberry Jello Salad is the perfect blend of salty-sweet. With a pretzel crust and a blend of cream cheese, whipped topping, raspberry jello, and fresh or frozen raspberries you are going to love it.

Jello gelatin or pudding desserts are my favorite. They are usually easy and quick to make and everyone loves them. Fluffy Watergate Salad, No-Bake Chocolate Cream Pie and Caramel Apple Fluff Salad are a few desserts made with Jello gelatin or pudding that have been shared on ourTechnically speaking, this is definitely far from a “salad” recipe.  This layered jello cheesecake dessert is often called just that.  Whatever you call it, the combination of salty, sweet and creamy cheesecake flavor is delicious for sure. 

This time raspberry Jello and frozen raspberries were used. However, most any jello and fruit would work. Fresh fruit can also be used. When using fresh fruit, use a little more sugar, and some ice to help the jello set quicker.

This  CANDY CORN POKE CAKE is so fun and festive.  It will be a huge hit at any party or just a fun surprise dessert for the family.

CANDY CORN POKE CAKE 

With Halloween coming I have been practicing making several fun desserts. If you tried Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Cookies or Slow Cooker Apple Spice Dump Cake please drop by the site and leave some comments on the posts. I love getting feedback from my followers.

My grandkids get so excited for Halloween, next to Christmas I’m sure it is their favorite time of the year. The 2 older boys will probably be superheroes or ninjas.  Or if they can find any costumes that relate to Fortnite or Minecraft, I’m sure that will be their first choice. Hopefully, we can still get the twins to dress up in something fun from the Disney Store.  Their first Halloween they dressed as Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Those will always be my favorite costumes. Although all of the Disney Characters hold a special place in my heart. I can remember dressing my oldest daughter as Tinker Bell when she was in kindergarten and my son as Buzz Light Year, so much fun. My family has definitely always been a Disney Family. We are now carrying on the tradition with the grandkids.

Making this Candy Corn Poke Cake is pretty easy to do. It only takes a few ingredients. You will need a white cake mix, vegetable oil, water, egg whites, sweetened condensed milk, food coloring, whip topping  (I used cool whip) and candy corn. I also added the candy pumpkins just for fun. It will take a couple of hours to make as you need to put in the freezer for 20 minutes in between each layer. It is also best if chilled for a minimum of 2 hours before serving. I chilled mine overnight.

The Cake Batter colored orange 

Don’t like candy corn?  That’s no big deal. It’s just a basic white cake mix with food coloring to make it look like candy corn and you can always leave the candy off the top, or just let those that don’t like it pick it off. 

If you try this recipe come back and let me know how it came out and if you made any changes to the recipe. Keep an eye out because I have a couple more fun  Halloween recipes to share before we move on to Thanksgiving. As always thanks for stopping by my blog.

This copy cat Friendly’s peanut butter sauce for ice cream is about as close as I have ever found. This Friendly’s peanut butter sauce is rich and creamy and pretty easy to make.

If you grew up in the north east like I did, you probably love Friendly’s ice cream restaurant as much as I do.

Friendly’s holds a special place in my heart  because I worked there when my kids were  little. It was one of my favorite jobs. I loved going to work there . All my coworkers were great and so were my bosses and customers.

My kids also loved when i worked there because I brought ice cream home a lot . They also loved when dad brought them in to see me at work . They would  have their favorite kids meal- and  after they would be allowed to get ice cream. They all had their favorite monster mash sundae , cone head or a Reese’s  pieces  sundae .  The Reese’s pieces sundae was my daughters favorite because she loved the peanut butter sauce. To this day she loves peanut butter so much , she eats it straight out of the jar with a spoon.

When I moved to the mid west  I was so disappointed  that  all the Friendly’s  restaurant had closed. So since then I have never been able to find another peanut butter ice cream sundae sauce that even came close. I finally gave up on buying one in the grocery store and set out to make my own .  I tried several different recipes and  just couldn’t get it right.   After experimenting with several recipes , I think I came up with the best Copy cat Friendly’s  peanut butter sauce . Give it a try and let me know if you agree .

All you need to make this delicious peanut butter sauce for ice cream is creamy peanut butter of choice ,butter ,heavy cream,simple syrup (or corn syrup) and vanilla .
