Cake Balls/Pops

1. Make a cake in a 9 X 13 pan
2. Crumble cake into fine crumbs
3. Add frosting to the cake crumbs (add only enough to allow you to form balls)
4. Mix well.
5. Roll into balls and place on wax paper and chill (I found the freezer works best)
6. Dip in tempered chocolate (almond bark)
7. Make designs if wanted

Cinnamon Sugar Pizza

SUGAR CRUMB CRISPY

• 1/4 cup butter *make sure butter is cold*
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• dash of salt
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 can Pillsbury Cresent Rolls (I used home made crescent rolls)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
Cut in butter to sugars, cinnamon, and salt and flour to form crumbs.
On an ungreased cookie sheet, separate crescent roll dough into 8 triangles. Sprinkle crumbs on top.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 8-12 minutes.
After they were cooked and cooled I cut them into smaller triangles but you can leave them big too!

GLAZE

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar *I like my glaze thicker, so if the glaze is too runny, just add more powdered sugar to get yours to the desired consistency.*
• 1 Tbsp. softened butter
• 1-1/4 tsp. vanilla
• 1 to 1-1/2 Tbsp. milk

Blend together and drizzle over Sugar Crumb Crispies

Yummy!!

Candy Game

Take a bag of candy you will enjoy. Use masking tape (lots easier) and wrap up the candy in it. Do some short strips and some long strips of tape. It makes it more fun. Have dice that will be passed around. You will roll until you get doubles. The person tries to get the candy out of the tape until the doubles. You keep what you get out. Lots of fun. Make sure not to do too much candy though unless there are a lot of people.

Fruit Salad

Use:
Strawberries-sliced
Apples (gala)-sliced
Grapes

1 container of cool whip
1 snickers-sliced

Mix all together and serve. Great for summer.

Andes Cookies

1 Devil's Food Cake Mix
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1 package of Andes Mints

Mix cake mix, oil, and eggs together. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 6-9 minutes. Don't cook any longer than that. You don't want them to be over done. Take sheet out of oven and while the cookies are still very hot, place an Andes Mint on top of each cookie. It will take about 5 minutes, but the mint will melt on the cookie. Take a spoon and spread the mint onto the cookie. You can eat them right away (which tastes a little better) or wait for them to cool.
