Stacked Rice Crispy Treats

Looking for a new twist on the same old delicious rice crispy treat? Cookie cutter shapes work wonders! Make a batch of rice crispy treats by following the directions on the cereal box. After the pan of crispy treats are cooled cut them out with a round biscuit cutter or circle cookie cutter. Stack them and you have a fun way to share an inexpensive but tasty treat. Who can resist rice crispy treats?

 After I stacked a few rice crispy treats I decided a layer of chocolate would really take these treats up a notch! So on went some melted chocolate chips. After the chocolate cooled I use the biscuit cutter and made more circles. The chocolate wasn't really ready to stack quite yet so I put them in the refrigerator for a few min to harden the chocolate.



 YUM!

Simple & Sweet Apple Turnovers

SO DELICIOUS APPLE TURNOVERS!!!

Really simple to make: 1 Can apple pie filling(chop coarsely), 
1 Box Refrigerated Pastry Pie crust (2 circles per package), 1 egg, powdered sugar, 
milk, water, almond extract.

Cut out circles with a glass or small bowl. Use knife to score edges. Fill center with 1 TBls. filling.
Wet seam with a small amount of water and press closed.



Score edges with fork or I used a Wilton decorative stitching tool (used for cakes & fondant). 
It is pictured below. 

Beat egg with 1 tsp. Milk and brush on the top of the turnover. 
Yum! The egg wash created this nice browning effect after they were cooked in the oven. So awesome! 
SOOOOO TASTY LOOKING!
After the turnovers cooled for a while, I glazed them with powdered sugar and 1tsp. water and 1tsp. almond extract. After I mixed the icing I poured the mixture into a Ziploc bad and cut a small hole in the corner. I used it as a make shift pastry bag. Then I drizzled the topping on and allowed it to dry.


Heavenly treats!
Warm, sweet and tasty treat for the Fall season. You can't beat these treats for the holidays.
These beauties remind me of the little Wonder Bread pies that my Dad used to bring home when I was a little girl. What a treat they were. They package up nicely for a great gift.

Cookie Monster Sugar Cookies

These Cookies were a REAL TREAT to eat! Two cookies in one. My friend had a cookie monster party at her house and invited the guests to bring cookies to share. These are the cookies I decided to make.
I used a mix for the sugar cookies to save time. Then I had fun frosting the little blue monsters!!!
Sesame Street here we come!
YUM! YUM!
