No Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

/

I spent tons of money on gimmicky kids baking products for my daughter. She loves to make and bake all types of sweets. Her weakness for licking the spoon is unparalleled. So it's hard to find recipes that are safe to eat raw due to the raw eggs. So I set out on a mission.. and I think you're all going to love it!

Also, stay tuned for more kid friendly recipes on my blog.

This recipe is so quick and easy, it's perfect for the kids to do alone or with your supervision. There really is no baking, just measuring and mixing. And who doesn't love raw cookie dough, right?!! 

Start with combining:

  • 1 cup soft butter
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 

Then add:

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup mini milk chocolate chips

Combine all ingredients.

We like serving two ways... take your pick!

  1. Roll into bite-size balls.  Use cake pop sticks to serve. Refrigerate. Enjoy!
  2. Pack into small tupperware containers and leave in the refrigerator until chilled. Eat with a spoon and enjoy!

Pumpkin Muffins

/

When the Fall hits it's like we just can't get enough of the pumpkin flavors! I mean from coffee to cakes the smell and flavor of pumpkin evokes a feeling in us that reminds us that fall is the best season EVER or it could make you think of cozying up in front of a large fire. Whatever the case is pumpkin is a must have in fall.

Here is a quick and easy DIY pumpkin muffin recipe that the kids and yourself will be drooling over. 

Start with Pillsbury Quick Pumpkin Bread mix from the box.

Instead of making bread, follow the secondary instructions to make the muffins. You'll be using milk instead of water. ***There are a few other differences but that's the major one.

Then add:

  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (from the can) and
  • 1/3 cup apple sauce. **This will make the muffins so moist and delicious. 

Then in a separate bow mix:

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tbls flour
  • 2 tbls butter
  • sprinkle the tops of muffins
  • Bake for 20 min at 375 degrees

They are best served while they are still warm. Cut muffin in half and add a small slice of butter. It will melt in all the little crevices and bring out of the sweet and savoriness of the muffins. Enjoy!
