This has to be one of the most scrumptious, quick, and thrifty recipes I've come across lately. I was perusing my local Dollar Tree and stumbled upon the most decadent cake mix for $1- Simply titled Betty Crocker Decadent Supreme Chocolate Mousse cake mix in a box. I had been looking for ingredients on the Internet for a peanut butter cake recipe and found it using simple cake mix, pudding, and peanut butter. What a delicacy and a great way to use up those peanut butter jars I've been talking about! The original recipe called for a cake mix, added pudding mix, peanut butter to cover, and then mousse or pudding as an icing. But this made it easier! If you can't find the mousse cake at your local dollar store, you can improvise by adding pudding to your cake mix, and top with pudding (reduced by 1/2 cup or whip up a mousse packet). Can you believe this cake costs $1 to make?
1 box of BETTY CROCKER DECADENT SUPREME CAKE MIX~CHOCOLATE MOUSSE 1 cup of Peanut Butter Milk (according to package directions) Eggs (according to package directions) Oil (according to package directions) Mix cake mix as according to package directions. Bake in a 13 x 9 inch pan at 350 for 32 minutes, or until done. Immediately out of the oven, heat 1 cup of creamy peanut butter in the microwave for one minute. Spread on cake while hot and let cool completely. Whip up mousse as per package directions and spread on top. Best if kept in the refrigerator. Very little time spent, and worth it! Yum! ![]() Yum! Here is a quick snack or dessert. You may use whole wheat or white tortillas. This is a recipe adapted from versions on the Internet. I have many jars of peanut butter from my local food bank, so I'm always on the lookout for recipes that container peanut butter. Knowing the protein content of peanut butter, I'm ensuring my kids get a healthy, quick snack in a moment's notice. 1 tortilla wrap (whole wheat or white) 1 med. banana 2 tab. peanut butter (creamy or crunchy) 2 tsp. chocolate chips (optional) Lay tortilla flat on work surface. Spread 2 tab. peanut butter so that tortilla is covered. Place banana at one end and roll up. Slice as shown in photo. May add chocolate chips as an additional treat. One day, staring at my pantry, I notice a good amount of peanut butter jars and boxes of Cheerios. They were piling up quickly, and on a limited food budget, I hated to waste anything. I noticed it had been increasingly difficult to to purchase and bake past sweet desserts. Food prices have just climbed so high, that an average cake is costing $8 to bake! Definitely not part of this new budget. I am always on a new quest to find healthier desserts because I have two teenage boys. After scouring the internet, I came across this adapted recipe of an all time favorite.
1 package of chocolate or semi sweet morsels 1 cup of peanut butter 3 cups of Cheerios (or any other cereal on hand) 1 cup of mini marshmallows Put chocolate and peanut butter in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high for one minute. Bring out, and stir. Put it back in for another minute, bring out and stir. Keep up this process till the chocolate is melted and is a smooth consistency with the peanut butter. Let the mixture cool for five minutes. Add cereal and marshmallows. Mix well. Drop by tablespoon full on waxed paper. Put in refrigerator for 30 minutes. I keep these in an airtight container in the refrigerator to ensure freshness. |
