An excellent treat invented by Megan. You will need to make a batch of custard, so use your favorite recipe or use the one that Megan used.
Mango Lassi Popsicles
Chocolate Sausage
Rolled into a sausage shape and then cut, this is a simple and very customizable treat.
No Bake Chocolate Cookies
Megan discovered these on the snack table at church. So I had to find her a recipe and she made them right away.
Maple Cream
Sort of like whipped honey, maple cream is a great addition to toast or crackers!
Christmas Memories Crunchy Puffs
Crunchy puffs, snow chips and pink magic dust. Memories of stringing crunchy puff strings, snow and pink magic sticks.
This recipe is from Adrian and Megan in honor of National Crunchy Puff Day.
Gingerbread Chai Biscotti
These are a drier biscotti, but are wonderful with hot chocolate or tea.
Laugenbrezel (German Soft Pretzels)
This is not the super soft, sweet pretzel that many malls offer. This has a bagel like texture that is much better I think! Salt as much or as little as you like and serve with a favorite mustard or cheese sauce.
Red Hot Cinnamon Popcorn
Andrea requested a not sweet snack. We thought cinnamon popcorn might do the trick.
Nope. It didn’t. But the rest of us thought it was very good!
Apple Crisp
We do not follow this recipe precisely. Depending on who is making the crisp, and how many apples we have, we often fill our pan 3/4 of the way full because we really like apples. Instead of cutting in cold butter, ours is usually softened and we just mix it with the topping ingredients. Since we do not like super sweet apple crisp, we use one cup sugar in the topping, but use more if making for company. If the topping seems a little dry, we add extra butter to the top when we put the apple crisp in the oven.
While this is great for dessert with vanilla ice cream, we often eat it for dinner. We also enjoy it warm for breakfast with milk.
Custard
Allan has always enjoyed custard and often used a mix to make it. However, with a little more work, we now make home made custard for desserts. This is not the pourable dessert custard (also called “creme anglaise”), but very similar to vanilla pudding. Only much better.
