Crescent Roll Dessert with Peanut Butter

Since I had some Crescent Roll left over from making the Chicken Roll Ups, I decided I would use them in a dessert. Awhile back I had saw on Pinterest a recipe for a dessert using Crescent Rolls so I went back to Pinterest and clicked through to the website, Kids Kubby, which does a lot of different things with Crescent Rolls. I changed the recipe a little from the one on the website but the ingredients are the same I just added an ingredient, peanut butter. For the dessert I used the ingredients:

-Can of Crescent Rolls

-Peanut Butter

-Marshmallows

-Chocolate Chips

Along with these items from home:

-Cookie Sheet
-Knife

Preheat the oven to 350°.

On the Cookie Sheet spread out 4 of the Crescent rolls. Then spread peanut butter on them.

Then on top of the peanut butter at the marshmallows and chocolate chips. Next roll up the crescent rolls.

Repeat the steps above for the other 4 crescent rolls but this time leave off the peanut butter.

Bake in the over for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve.





Enjoy!

For the dessert I only spent $2.94 at Walmart because everything else I had in the kitchen from previous meals besides the Chocolate Chips and Marshmallows. Please excuse the extras on the receipt, those are for future meals.



Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Freeze Pie

Again this week I was browsing on Pinterest and I came across this recipe for a Reese’s Pie, which only has five ingredients. So I went to the website, Coupon Cousins and tried out their recipe for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Freeze Pie. These are the ingredients needed for the pie:

1 Keebler Chocolate Cookie Pie Crust (or use a regular Graham Cracker Crust)

1 large box of Instant Chocolate Pudding

1 ½ cups of Milk

1 8 oz tub of Cool Whip

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

Along with these items from home:

Rubber Spatula

Spoon

Measuring Cup

Bowl

Whisk

Cutting Board

I double everything because I made 2 pies.

Start by putting the Pudding mix in a bowl and adding the Milk. Mix together.

Then add in the Cool Whip and mix with a Whisk then with a Rubber Spatula.

Set the mixture aside.

Now unwrap about 10-15 Reese’s Cups.  On the cutting board, roughly chop the cup up.

Now add the chopped Reese’s cup to the mixture.

Fold the Reese’s cups in the mixture.

Now pour the mixture into the pie crust.

Chop up about five more Reese’s cups and top the pie with them.

Place lid on pie and place in freezer for about 15 or until you ready to serve it.

Cut and Serve.

Enjoy!

Since I double everything to make 2 pies the cost is a little higher then it would be for one pie. And remember on the receipt there is food for 2 meals. Everything was brought at Walmart.

My total cost for the Pies was: $13.85

Cookie Pudding

For those you who do not like Banana Pudding there is something that is like it but better…Cookie Pudding. This also one dessert you will not need an oven for. The ingredients you will need are:

-4 Cups Milk

-2 Boxes Vanilla Wafers

-1 Package of Cream Cheese (Softened)

-1 Container Whipped Cream

-2 Boxes Instant Vanilla Pudding

-1 Tsp of Vanilla Exact

Along with these items from home:

-Large Bowl

-Spoon

-Whisk

-Mixer

-Rubber Spatula

-Glass Pan or Large Bowl with Lid

First start off by following the directions on the Pudding box, which is to add 2 cups of milk for each box in a bowl and whisk until it is thick but still runny.

Add the softened Cream cheese and Vanilla Exact and using the Mixer, mix the all the ingredients until the Cream cheese is in small pieces.

With the Rubber Spatula scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is mixed in, and then add in the Whipping Cream again using the Mixer to mix everything together.

Again with the Rubber Spatula scrape the sides of the bowl to mix everything together.

In the Glass pan, add a layer of the Wafers. Then add a layer of the Pudding mixture.

Repeat the previous step until you reach the top. Then decorate the top with the leftover Wafers.

Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight, until the cookies are soft and the pudding has set.

Serve.

 Enjoy!

For this dessert, I brought everything from Food Lion and only paid $10.44.

Rice Krispy Treats Remixed & No Bake Cookies

Being a busy student, getting a meal cooked in the middle of the week will be hard, so I have decided to make Wednesdays, “Deserts Wednesdays.” Every Wednesday I chose one to two of my favorite or new deserts and try something new with it. This Wednesday I decided to make something I call “Rice Krispy Treats Remixed” and No Bake Cookies. For these deserts the ingredients you will need are:

Rice Krispy Treats Remixed

- 1 Box of Chex cereal

- 1 Stick of Butter

- 1 Bag of Marshmallow

- 1 ½ cup of Chocolate Chip (Whatever kind you like)

                                                                                                                                            

No Bake Cookies

- 3 cups of Oatmeal

- 2 cups of Sugar

- ½ cup of Milk

- 1 Stick of Butter

- 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract

- ½ cup of Peanut Butter

- 2-4 Tablespoons of Cocoa Powder

Along with these items from home:

- Pot

- Wooden Spoon

-Spoons

-Measuring Cup

-Measuring Spoons

- Glass Pan

- Wax Paper

- Knife

Beginning with the Rice Krispy Treats Remixed, take the pot and heat the stick of butter until it is almost melt then add the marshmallow. Stir until all the marshmallows are all melt down.

Remove from heat and add in the Chex cereal. Mix in the cereal well. At the very last minute add in the Chocolate chips.

After everything is mixed well, pour into the Glass Pan.

You can top the Treats with more Chocolate Chips and then let it stand for about an hour.

Now for the No Bake Cookies, begin with heat in a pot the stick of butter, milk, and sugar until it comes to a boil for 2 minutes.

Add in the Peanut Butter, keep on heat until it is melted and then add in the Vanilla Extract. Remove from heat and add in the Oatmeal and Cocoa Powder.

Stir until all the Cocoa is mixed in. 

Once mixed pour quickly onto Wax paper and let stand for about an hour. 

Once the cookies have hardened, cut them with a knife.

Serve.

Enjoy!

Remembering back to my previous post I brought the ingredients for that meal and this one at the same time from Walmart  but the real amount for these ingredients (Hot Oatmeal, GV H4Y Corn (cereal), GV 100Z Mini (marshmallows), NTH PNT MLK (Peanut Butter and Milk Chocolate Chips) and Milk) is… $11.13.
