yellow cake mix (plus ingredients to prepare)

vanilla pudding mix (2 (3.4 ounces) boxes)

milk

vanilla

semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 1/3 cups)

corn syrup (or butter if you prefer)

Prepare and bake the cake in a 13x9 pan according to the package instructions. Let cool completely before poking holes across the cake with the bottom of a wooden spoon. Be sure to poke all the way to the bottom of the pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together pudding, milk, and vanilla, but don&#039;t let it thicken. Pour the thin pudding over cake in an even layer, poking down into the holes if necessary. 

Refrigerate the cake for one hour.

Place the chocolate chips and corn syrup in a heat-proof bowl.&nbsp;

In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the cream until it simmers, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, you can microwave the cream until hot.&nbsp;

Pour hot cream over chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes to melt.&nbsp;

Stir until smooth. Let the glaze cool for 10 minutes.

Pour glaze over cake and smooth with a spatula. Chill cake for 4 hours or overnight before serving.

These flourless peanut butter cookies are naturally gluten-free, and easy to make using pantry staples.

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies (3 Ingredients!)

peanut butter (or natural*)

vanilla extract (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper (or use 1 baking sheet and clear it before starting the next batch).

Add the egg, sugar, vanilla (if using), and peanut butter to a large bowl.

Mix the ingredients together until a cohesive ball forms, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Use a medium cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon to portion the dough.

Roll the balls in between your palms until smooth (they should be about 1 ½” in diameter).

Place on the prepared cookie sheet, spacing the balls about 2” apart (about 8-10 cookies on a conventional cookie sheet).

Press each cookie twice with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern. If you have problems with the fork sticking, you may need to dip the fork into powdered sugar or use a new, clean fork.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. The centers should look soft or undone.

Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the sheet before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.

Repeat with the remaining cookie dough on the other baking sheet (or use the baking sheet you just cleared off).

Cool cookies completely before transferring to storage.

These are so good, and I love making them for gluten-free people because they taste just as good (better?) than tradtional peanut butter cookies made with flour. They also work well with natural peanut butter and sugar-free sweetener.

This easy recipe for Homemade Rice Krispie Treats are an extra gooey version of the original recipe. You need just 4 simple ingredients!

Rice Krispie Treats

mini marshmallows ((approximately 6 cups))

crispy rice cereal ((like Rice Krispies))

Line an 8X8 (20.3x20.3 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

Add the marshmallows to a large bowl, and top with slices of butter.

Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals until the butter is melted and the marshmallows are puffy.

Stir well to combine the butter and marshmallows, then add in the vanilla extract and stir again.

Pour in the cereal and fold it in with a silicone spatula until completely coated in the marshmallow mixture.

Spread the cereal treat mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out to the edges and into an even layer.

Allow to set at room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Remove the treats from the baking pan and slice into 9 squares.

Microwave method:

I made them with the browned butter method you have noted and what a pleasant treat! Thank you!

This easy recipe for Homemade Caramel Apple Dip calls for just 4 ingredients! A yummy dessert dip that&#39;s perfect for your next Fall gathering.

Caramel Apple Dip

cream cheese (softened*)

toffee bits

Add the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar (or white sugar), and ¼ cup of the caramel sauce to a large bowl.

Beat the cream cheese, caramel, and sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.

Spread the cream cheese mixture into the bottom of a medium baking dish (7.5 X 10” or 8X8”).

Pour the remaining 1 cup of caramel sauce on top of the cream cheese layer. Spread it out evenly, so all of the cream cheese is covered.

Sprinkle the surface of the caramel with the toffee bits.

Serve immediately, or refrigerate until needed (set it out at room temperature for 10-30 minutes before serving).

Serve with apple slices, graham crackers, gingersnaps, etc.

This sweet cream cheese dip is the perfect sweet treat for any occasion! Made with just 4 simple ingredients.

Sweet Cream Cheese Dip

oz cream cheese (softened (½ package (125 grams), brick-style))

butter (melted (or softened))

Milk ((optional), for thinning the consistency)

Add the softened cream cheese to a medium-sized mixing bowl, then add the butter and vanilla extract.

Beat the butter and cream cheese together using an electric hand mixer on low-medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Once the mixture is smooth and lump-free, add in the powdered sugar.

Mix on low speed until the powdered sugar is fully incorporated and no lumps remain.

Taste and check the consistency. If a thinner consistency is desired, add a small splash of milk and mix well. Add milk, a very small amount at a time, until the dip is the perfect consistency (keep in mind that it will become firm after refrigeration).
