Easy treat for non-bakers...

[Dark Cloud]

I love to cook, and consider myself fairly good at it... but I cant bake and have no desire to learn, lol...

A lady at work put me onto this easy and tasty treat for us baking impaired...

Take some of those mini pretzels and arrange them on a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper. Then plop a Rollo on each one and into a 250 degree oven for 5 min...

When they come out place another pretzel or a half pecan on them and push em down a bit...

Let them cool and your all set...

Walleyehooker -

I was about to post that same recipe. Those things flat out disappear around our house. I put the oreos in the food processer and buzz them until they're almost powder, then mix in the cream cheese a few chunks at a time. The end result is like velvet. Besides chocolate, you can also do either white chocolate or almond bark, both of which are outstanding.

My wife and her 4 sisters get together at our house before Christmas to bake cookies. They're all outstanding bakers (they call themselves "cookie snobs") and really go to town. This year's tally was just over 1300 cookies - about a dozen different kinds. I call it "Cookie Mayhem" and mainly hide in the basement, but I do come out of hiding to make these.

With all the bakers in my family, it's a wonder I'm not a 400 pounder.

Another great dessert recipe, Jello Pie:

Take one small package of jello (I like strawberry, the 'real' jello with real sugar). Add it to 3/4 water in a saucepan. Heat and dissolve the jello.

In a mixing bowl, take your jello mixture and one whole container of Cool Whip, and stir them together. After completely stirred, pour this into a pre-made pie crusts. I like the chocolate pie crusts best for this.

Top with Reddiwhip for extra whipped cream awesomeness.

Some recipes call for adding in quartered chunks of strawberries. I like my pie smooth though.

another good one!!guess it would be the chunks of berries for me though, but sounds great. good luck.

Dark Cloud a lot of people must have seen your recipe as I had one heck of a time finding rollos. Hit 3 stores to find them and could only get them in individual rolls in the candy isle.These are about as easy as it gets to make and very tastey treats.

[reinhard1]

LOL!!i looked for them today as well at the store i went to and could not find them. it was so busy it was hard to chech everything out. i told my daughter to see if she can get some by her home. good luck.

Walleyehoooker and eyeguy,

Just wondering do you store these in the fridge or no? I am wondering because of the cream cheese, thanks.

For the Oreo treats, you can keep them in the fridge or even the freezer.... They keep very well in either.....

[Walleyehooker]

Like CC said in the fridge or freezer because of the cream cheese.I put them in the fridge or they will get real hard and need to be thawed for a while from the freezer.Freezer would be a good idea if you plan on storing them for a longer period of time.

I used the mint oreos in the ones I made but you can use any of them. Im going to try the white chocolate next time. Those look good.

I have used the mint oreos before also. And melted PB Chocolate chips for the coating, which was real tasty on the regular oreos.

I stopped at my local grocery store to buy more Rolos today, they were out also...
