Candy Shop Truffle

Another glorious Facebook find!

1 box chocolate cake mix
2 boxes of low fat chocolate jello instant pudding
4 cups of milk (as per the pudding directions)
1/4 cup peanut butter (plus 2 tbsp for drizzling)
1 large container of low fat cool whip
1 bag of mini Reese peanut butter cups (chopped into pieces)
1 large bag of Reese's pieces

Bake the cake as per the directions on the box. Let cool completely.

Let cool whip thaw out until it's easier to spread.

Make the pudding as per the directions on the box, at the very end before you let it set stir in the 1/4 cup of peanut butter. Let set.

Crumble the cake into a trifle dish (or bowl), top with 1/2 of the pudding mixture, then add a layer of cool whip (1/2 the container), and then sprinkle 1/2 of the chopped Reese peanut butter cups and 1/2 the bag of Reese's pieces.

Do another layer exactly the same: cake, pudding, cool whip, candy.

Put the 2 tbsp of peanut butter into the microwave for about 45 seconds to melt, then drizzle over top of the trifle

Toasted Sammie!

Running out of ideas for dinner? Looking for something super simple and easy? Make a toasted sammie! These are a favorite go-to and so easy to personalize for each person without making an entirely different meal.

Take a loaf of Italian bread, cut lengthwise and lay open on a baking sheet. Layer with sliced ham, or turkey (or whatever meat you want!), cover with shredded mozzarella cheese and broil for 3-5 minutes. Watch closely because it's easy to overcook these, so pull them once the cheese gets melty. You can add lettuce, mayo, etc, and bon appetit! Add whatever you'd like to have on your "usual" deli style sandwich and enjoy. So simple, so easy!

This is what happens when I screenshot a photo of food from Instagram...I have no idea who posted it or what it's called, but it looked amazing and it is my new favorite quick breakfast!

Super simple to do...just lightly toast the bread and spread a small amount of butter. Drizzle with honey, then add a layer of nut butter and thinly sliced apples. Top with cinnamon and broil for about 3 minutes. Delish!

Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup Bake

I loooove grilled cheese and tomato soup and what better way to change up this classic than by making a bake. When I came across this recipe on Taste of Home, I had to make it!

Ingredients

• 3 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese

• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1-3/4 cups 2% milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Italian cheese blend or part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese and 1 teaspoon basil until blended; spread onto six bread slices. Top with mozzarella cheese and remaining bread. Spread outsides of sandwiches with butter. Arrange in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish.
2. In a small saucepan, combine tomato paste, garlic, salt, pepper and remaining basil; cook and stir over medium heat 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 4-5 minutes or until thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
