Dessert anyone?

I am a girl who loves to cook and bake. And I like trying new things. So one day I was blog hopping and I found this recipe. I will never eat rice krispies treats the old way anymore. I wish I could remember who's blog I got it from because I would give her props. So here is what you do.

Crispy Chocolate Roll
10 oz marshmellows
1/4 cup butter
1/4 c peanut butter
5 1/2c Rice Krispy Cereal
1 1/3c Chocolate Chips
3/4c Butterscotch chips

Line cookie sheet with wax paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Microwave covered marshmellows, butter and peanut butter until melted (about 2 min) Stir in cereal. Spread on cookie sheet. Microwave uncovered chocolate and butterscotch chips until melted (I didn't have butterscotch chips so I used white chocolate chips and we loved it. Only the white chocolate didn't melt as fast as the chocolate chips. But the were good not totally melted) Spread on top of cereal mixture to 1" of edges. Roll from short end. Refrigerate one hours and slice.

I made this for Family Home Evening 2 weeks ago and my family couldn't get enough of it.

Now this last family home evening I was wanting to make something new again and my friend Jen had this recipe that was also to die for. Now if you read her blog you have probably already have seen this recipe but I am going to give it to those who don't read her blog.

Oreo Truffles

Crush 3 sleeves of oreos
1- 8 oz pkg. cream cheese
dipping chocolate

Beat oreos until fine in a blender or food processor. Add cream cheese and beat until blended. Form into balls and place on wax paper lined cookie sheet. Freeze until easy to handle.Dip in chocolate and refrigerate until ready to eat. Delicious!!

Jen used organic oreos and tofutti cream cheese. I used the Joe Joe's from Trader Joe's and I had Tofutti cream cheese on hand. I am sure you can use regular cream cheese but using the Tofutti made you think they were a little bit healthier.

These two recipes are so easy and so good. They are worth trying. I would have taken pictures but they are all gone.
