Desserts

Quick and easy desserts are my specialty!  Our family craves chocolate desserts like Peanut Butter Oreo Pie, Chocolate Syrup Brownies and Cake Bites the most.

Our most popular dessert on Pinterest is hands down these Cinnamon Cream Cheese Bars.  We love cream cheese in a dessert.  It’s so simple to add to a box of cake mix to make Gooey Butter Cake or better yet Chocolate Gooey Butter Cake.

Old-fashioned recipes like the refreshing Lime Jello Salad with Cottage Cheese, Orange Jello Salad and 7-Up Jello Salad are fun to make too!

The most popular cake we have shared is our Best Moist and Delicious Chocolate Cake from a box mix.  It’s always served at family birthday parties unless another classic is requested like Oreo Dirt Cake or Butterscotch Delight.

The desserts I crave most often are Cream Puff Cake, Cinnamon Applesauce Muffins, Pineapple Pretzel Salad and Old-Fashioned Homemade Ice Cream.

If no-fuss desserts are your thing I hope you’ll take a look around and find something you love!
