Molten Chocolate Cakes

Preheat the oven to 450

1 Cup of unsalted butter


8 oz of semisweet chocolate


Melt butter in a medium heat-proof bowl over simmering water


Stir together and remove from heat when completely melted together


In another bowl mix 5 eggs


1/2 cup of sugar and a pinch of salt



Beat together with a hand mixer until the sugar dissolves


Add egg mixture to the chocolate mixture and beat together until smooth


Add in 4 T of flour and beat together just until combined.


You can use 8 ramekins or 8 extra large muffin papers placed in muffin tins. Spray each with cooking spray.


Divide batter evenly between the ramekins or muffin cups. Bake at 450 for 8-10 minutes. Bake until the batter puffs, but the center is not set. Pull papers away or run a knife around cake in the ramekin. Transfer to a desert plate.


Dust with powdered sugar, and serve with strawberries, raspberries, whipped cream, ice cream...


Or just milk!
The great thing about this recipe is you can make the batter up to 6 hours before you plan to serve it and put it in the ramekins in the refrigerator. Just allow to warm to room temperature before baking.

Snicker Pie

A family friend shared this pie with our family this Summer. I had to get the recipe because snickers are my favorite candy bar and the pie was wonderful!


First mix together: 8 oz of cream cheese, 1 1/2 C of powdered sugar, 1/2 C of peanut butter (either creamy or crunchy)


Then add in 5 finely chopped snickers bars


Mix together


Fold in 16 oz of cool whip


Pour into crust. I used a chocolate ready-made crust. Refrigerate...


And serve! MMmm mmm!

I halved the recipe and just made one pie. I also saved a few of the snickers pieces to put on the top of the pie.

"Wicked good brownies!"

I made these tonight for a group of people we had over. Super easy, really good!


You need a package of brownies, chocolate chip cookie mix, and chocolate icing. Prepare according to the directions of each the brownies and the cookies.


First spread the brownie mix in a 9X13 pan.


Then by the spoonful drop the chocolate chip cookie mix on top of the brownie mix. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.


After cooling ice with the chocolate icing.


And serve! Easy and delicious! Wish we had some milk!

I read on the website some people made this with peanut butter cookie mix, I will have to try that! It is sweet enough that you could probably leave off the icing if you wanted. Very good!

Super easy strawberry shortcakes

The players for this game: bisquick, sugar, butter, milk, cool whip, and strawberries


First you need 2 1/3 C of bisquick


3 T of sugar (I don't know why some of my pictures keep turning!)


1/2 C of milk


3 T of melted butter


Then mix together


Place on a cookie sheet in balls. This recipe amount is to make 6, but I just adjust it depending on how many I need. Cook in the oven on 425 for 10-12 minutes.


Chop up some strawberries. The recipe calls for 1/2 C of sugar in the strawberries, but I just added a small spoonful, because I think they are sweet enough.


When finished cooking cut the top off and put some cool whip in the middle.


Then some strawberries, and put the top back on. (and watch out to not let your china plate slide off the counter!)


Then add a dollop of whipped cream and a few more strawberries.
That's it! Quick, easy, and delish.
I cooked mine longer than what it said because I have a fear of things being gooey in the middle, consequently they were somewhat crunchy on the outsides. Don't be like me...
This recipe is usually on the back of the bisquick box for quick referencing. ENJOY!
