2 1/2 cups white vanilla baking chips (15 oz)
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
3 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

See my Darlene’s Concoctions videos!

DIRECTIONS:

1:  Line 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish with waxed paper or cooking parchment paper.

2:  In medium microwavable bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups white vanilla baking chips (15 oz) and 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated). Microwave on High in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until melted and smooth.

3:  Add 3 tablespoons lime juice and stir until well combined. Pour mixture into dish. Refrigerate about 4 hours.

4:  Cut fudge into squares and toss them into 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs to coat. Press into graham mix a bit for the crumbs to stick.

Darlene’s Tips: You can totally skip the graham crumbs if you want. That’s just to make it more like pie. You can also swap the lime juice for lemon juice if you prefer. You might even try skipping the juice and using coconut extract! Have fun and experiment!

No-Bake Nutella Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

Check Out My eBay Store!

INGREDIENTS:
check for ingredient coupons here
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup Nutella hazelnut spread
2 cups old-fashioned oats

See my Darlene’s Concoctions videos!

DIRECTIONS:

1:  Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.

2:  Add the sugar, butter and milk to a 4-quart saucepan.  Heat on medium until you get to a rolling boil. Boil 1 minute then remove from heat.

3:  Stir in Nutella until creamy and combined. Stir in 2 cups old-fashioned oats until well coated.

4:  Immediately drop by 2-tablespoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Cool about 15 minutes or until set.

Darlene’s Tips: You can totally add shredded coconut to this recipe for more chewiness. About a 1/2 cup should do. You can add chopped nuts too.  Again, about 1/2 cup would work.  You could also spread in a pan and let set then cut into bars.

Easy Apple Cheesecake Bars Recipe

Check Out My eBay Store!

INGREDIENTS:
check for ingredient coupons here
2 cans (8 oz each) Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dough sheets
2 1/2 cups finely chopped apples
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup butter

See my Darlene’s Concoctions videos!

DIRECTIONS:

1:  Heat oven to 350°F. Unroll 1 dough sheet and place in ungreased 13×9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish, stretching to cover and firmly pressing dough to cover bottom.

2:  In small microwavable bowl, microwave the chopped apples uncovered on High 2 to 3 minutes, stirring after each minute, until apples are softened.

3:  In medium bowl, mix cream cheese and 1 cup of the sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Stir in apple mixture, and spread on top of dough in baking dish.

4:  Unroll remaining dough sheet, and carefully place on top of cream cheese layer, slightly stretching to cover.  Carefully pour melted butter onto dough, and brush to spread evenly over top.  Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup sugar over top of dough.

5:  Bake 28 to 33 minutes or until dough is deep golden brown and baked through. Cool on cooling rack 1 hour then refrigerate 2 hours. Store leftovers in refrigerator.

Darlene’s Tips: Serve with a dollop of whipped topping or a side of ice cream and some caramel syrup or all of that stuff!  You could add chopped nuts to this recipe if you like.  And I’m quite sure you could do this as a pie using ready-made pie crusts instead of the crescent dough sheets. You could also skip the butter and extra sugar on top and just keep the top plain.
