Just post them.
Let the thread get all fat and stuff.

Made this last year for my bf, as he loves peanut butter. It's very easy and way good -

Peanut Butter Fudge

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and milk. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter and vanilla. Pour over confectioners' sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat until smooth; pour into an 8x8 inch dish. Chill until firm and cut into squares.

Easiest cookie recipe I have found:

Peanut Butter Cookies-

1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix ingredients in a bowl. Drop tablespoonfuls onto nonstick cookie sheet. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. The cookies will seem very soft when you take them out but if you cook them any longer they get hard. Take the off the sheet and put on to a plate.

As this recipe has no flour, it is gluten free.

The easiest dessert I know how to make:

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE (serves 6)

1 x 200 g bar of cooking chocolate 50 - 70% coca
4 eggs, separated

Break the chocolate bar into pieces and place in a microwaveable bowl. Place in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, until the chocolate is soft. Make sure you don't do this too many times (about 3 bursts is enough) or the chocolate will go all weird.

When the chocolate is melted, mix it together with a wooden spoon. Wait about a minute then add the egg yolks. Mix fast and thoroughly so whatever heat is left in the chocolate doesn't scramble the eggs.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form firm peaks.

Fold the egg whites into the yolk and chocolate mixture.

Place the mix in one large bowl or several small ones.

Chill for a few hours or overnight.

That's it! Serve and be amazed...this is my grandmother's recipe and it's the best chocolate mousse ever. The fact that there is no added sugar or butter makes for a very firm and bubbly mousse.

The recipe can be doubled for larger amounts of people.

One more tip, for a fancy version to impress guests:

Place one or two leaves of clear gelatine in a small amount of warm water. Once the gelatine is dissolved, add it to the finished chocolate mix. Put the mix in a cake mould and chill. After a few hours, put it in the freezer. Take the mousse out an hour before serving. When it's time to serve, flip the mousse out onto a plate - the gelatine should make it firm enough to stand that way. Then whip some cream with sugar until it forms peaks and cover the mousse. This mousse can be sliced and looks like a cake but it's not. Never fails to impress.

I forgot what this is called, I think its a take on a Million Dollar pie, without the mandarin oranges and pineapple and using lemonade instead of lemon juice

One graham cracker crust
1 can frozen lemonade (need to let it thaw out)
1 reg size container cool whip
1 can sweetened condensed milk

mix all ingredients, pour into pie crust and freeze

I've got two...

Quote:

Apple Oven Cake

Time: 30 minutes. This puffed pancake works nicely as either an elegant breakfast dish or a rustic dessert.

Yield: Serves 6 (this is a lie; I can easily eat the whole thing in one sitting!)

* 3 tablespoons butter
* 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
* 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1 sweet apple such as Fuji, peeled and sliced
* 3 large eggs
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup flour
* 1/2 cup milk
* 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
* 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven to 425°. Melt butter in a 12-in. ovenproof frying pan over high heat. Add brown sugar and cinnamon, swirling to combine. Add apple and cook until just starting to soften, about 3 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, in a blender, whirl together eggs, salt, flour, and milk. Pour egg mixture into oven-safe pan (cast iron works best, IMO) and bake until puffed and brown, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with lemon juice and powdered sugar.

Microwave Fudge (Super easy, surprisingly good!)

1 box confectioners' sugar
1/2 c. butter
1/4 c. milk
1/2 c. cocoa
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Pinch of salt
Nuts (optional)

Dump all ingredients into a bowl without stirring and cover with wax paper. Heat in microwave for 2 minutes. Take out and stir well. Blend with beaters for 3 minutes. Put in buttered pan and refrigerate until hard. (This is a great recipe if you have had trouble making fudge in the past.)

My mom used to make a dish similar to that apple cake and it was sooooooooo good. I may have to try it!

As for me, I've got nothing.

wooÐs · 12-17-2009, 05:00 PM

I'll definitely try the fudge.

And the apple cake would make a great Sunday breakfast for 2.

Starkizzer · 12-17-2009, 07:31 PM

Not really sure if most would call it a dessert but I like it when I need something sweet.

From Bottom Up
Toast (sourdough bread works best)
Peanut butter
Bananas slices (not too ripe)
Redi whip
Eat

Great snack and low cal
