Vanilla Cookies with Marshmallow Melt Choclolate and Butterscotch Chips

  

Simple smile makers have been a theme around our house. Here is yet another easy, yummy treat bound to make your lips turn up... into a smile. 

Vanilla cookies with marshmallow melt with milk chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.

Here is what I did and what you need.

Ingredients:

Vanilla cookies or Nilla Waffers

Mini marshmallows

Butter

Sauce pan

Wax paper

Chocolate chips

Butterscotch chips or any kind you desire

What to do:

Melt butter and mini marshmallows in sauce pan and stir together. Same way you would if making Rice Krispie treats. Once melted spoon the mixture on to the bottom side of each of the cookies. Top with chocolate chips(or the kind you choose) on half of the amount of cookies. Then take the cookies with out the chips and top the cookies that have chocolate chips to make cookie sandwiches. I laid all the cookies out on wax paper first and then topped them.

My girls kept saying "mmmMMMmmmMMM!" as they were devouring them!

Smoothie... Shake

 Blended goodness!
A favorite around my house is my peanut butter, chocolate, banana smoothie that sometimes turns shake. Or is it a shake that turns smoothie?
Here is how I distinguish between the two... If made with ice cream it is a shake and if made with frozen yogurt it is a smoothie. Or if I want my girls to have dessert or a treat no matter what it is made with it is a shake. Got that? :)
At times, to add an extra source of vitamins I add Carnation Instant breakfast.
Ingredients:
Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt
Milk
Peanut Butter chunky or smooth
Crushed Ice optional
Banana (best if frozen)
Carnation Instant Breakfast

No matter what you call it... another simple smile maker!

Hello Cupcake!

Cupcakes are very popular these days. On occasion, my girls and I enjoy watching shows dedicated to bakers competing against one another for whose cupcake is the best. Though my out of a box cupcake mix will not be winning any competitions, they are winning smiles with my girls.





Chocolate cake frosted with half chocolate and half cream cheese frosting. I then used a fork to create the zebra effect.
Simple, easy and fast are these smile makers... cupcakes! YUM!

Easy Fun Desserts

Something fun to eat can be something fast to make. My kids love having fun as every kid does. They also love having fun desserts to devour!
Here are two very easy desserts that keep the fun happening and smiles shining!

Already made Nestle Toll House Cookie Dough makes for quick cookies! Top that warm out of the oven cookie with some ice cream and you have a super simple dessert sure to bring on a smile!

I am a California girl who spent her life at the beach! Summers were always filled with beach days ending in beach nights by the bon fire. Toasting marshmallows to slap on a graham cracker and Hershey chocolate bar were always a summertime treat! I am now a mountain girl missing my summer beach days. I may be missing the ocean and the bon fire but I am not missing the S'mores! With the use of my microwave I treated my girls to a summertime treat at home! Not quite the same taste, but definitely brought on smiles and fun!

You could use one big marshmallow but I thought the little ones added some extra fun for little kids. Just 15 seconds in the microwave the marshmallows puff up like this and the chocolate is just the right amount of melted.
YUM!

Oh my little girl keeps us laughing! I must warn you... your kids will enjoy eating it as much as they enjoy wearing it all over their face!

Happy Summer all!
