Flash Sale Weekend has begun! I have some nice new items listed today that you might have seen in one of my recent fabric unboxings.

See that image up above? I simply love that print! I cut it all into 24 Scrappy 5″ Precuts and they have not sold out… yet. Exclusive Shoppers price is only $6 with free shipping. They will be $8 if they make it to ebay.

And tomorrow I’m going to have more new items… always at a lower price than on ebay. If you’ve been shopping in my ebay store, you will kick yourself for not having become an exclusive shopper sooner!

Details are below!

Cherry Cream Cheese Brownies Recipe – Brownie Mix Hack

Posted by Darlene on March 12, 2020 at 9:09 am

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

Check out this huge selection of Betty Crocker Cookbooks!

INGREDIENTS:

Filling
3 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup sugar

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons chopped , drained, patted dry

1 egg

Brownies
1 box (16 oz) Betty Crocker Supreme original brownie mix
Water, vegetable oil and egg called for on brownie mix box

(see my tips below)

DIRECTIONS:

1: Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom of 9-inch square pan with shortening or cooking spray.

2: In small bowl, mix cream cheese and sugar with spoon until smooth. Add flour, cherries and egg. Mix until well blended. Set aside.

3: Make brownie batter as directed on box. Reserve 3/4 cup brownie batter and set aside. Spread remaining batter in pan.

4: Spoon cream cheese filling by tablespoonful dollops evenly onto batter, making 3 rows by 3 rows. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the reserved brownie batter in center of each filling dollop. Draw knife through mixture in four straight lines horizontally, then vertically for swirled design.

3: Bake 28 to 32 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool 30 minutes on cooling rack. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until chilled. Cut as desired. Store covered in refrigerator.

Darlene’s Tips: You could experiment and try this recipe using some chopped pieces of fresh fruit or berries in the cream cheese filling instead of the cherries, or even canned fruit that is well drained and patted dry. You can add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts of your choice to the brownie batter too!

Easy Fruit & Cream Pie Recipe

Posted by Darlene on March 11, 2020 at 8:50 am

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

Check out this huge selection of Betty Crocker Cookbooks!

INGREDIENTS:

1 Pillsbury Frozen Deep Dish Pie Crust (or any brand)
2 cups whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
3 cups fresh fruit (strawberry slices, blueberries, kiwi fruit slices, peach slices or any combination)
(see my tips below)

DIRECTIONS:
1: Prepare pie crust as directed on package for one-crust baked shell using 9-inch pie pan. Cool 30 minutes or until completely cooled.

2: In large bowl, combine whipping cream and powdered sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in fruit.

3: Spoon into cooled baked shell. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Store in refrigerator.

Darlene’s Tips: Skip the whipping cream and just use your favorite whipped topping. You could totally use a ready-made graham cracker crust for this. You might have to cut the recipe in half since that’s not deep dish, or you might be able to make two not-so-deep pies. Pretty sure you could also use well-drained canned fruit. Fruit cocktail would be an excellent choice!

Below is a list of my Top 10 most viewed videos for the week of 3/2/20 – 3/8/20. If you have not seen them all, now is a great time to binge watch!

My old Crumb Quilt Series is still doing well, at least the first 2 episodes. I never got around to finishing the stats for that series (ebay had an earnings glitch). I will have to revisit that! It’s probably doing better now than it did way back when it was uploaded.

Walnut Fudge Brownies Recipe – Easy Brownie Mix Hack with Oatmeal

Posted by Darlene on March 8, 2020 at 9:01 am

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

Walnut Fudge Brownies Recipe

Check Out My eBay Store!

INGREDIENTS:
check for ingredient coupons here
1 (18.4-oz.) pkg. Pillsbury Family Size Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup water
2 eggs
2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
2 cups chopped walnuts
1 (12-oz.) pkg. (2 cups) semisweet chocolate chips
1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)

See my Darlene’s Concoctions videos!

DIRECTIONS:

1: Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13×9-inch pan.

2: In large bowl, combine brownie mix, butter, water and eggs and beat 50 strokes with spoon. Add oats and walnuts and mix well.

3: In medium microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and condensed milk. Microwave on HIGH for 1 1/2 minutes or until chips are melted and mixture is smooth, stirring twice.

4: Spread half of brownie batter in greased pan. Spread chocolate mixture over batter. Drop remaining brownie mixture by teaspoonfuls over chocolate layer. (Brownie mixture will not completely cover chocolate layer.)

5: Bake at for 29 to 33 minutes or until brownie topping feels dry and edges begin to pull away from sides of pan. Do not overbake. Cool 2 hours the refrigerate 1 1/2 hours. Cut into bars. Serve cold or at room temperature. Store in refrigerator.

Darlene’s Tips: You could also add some shredded coconut to the brownie batter or even to the melted chocolate layer. Use any nuts you like. You could also try peanut butter, butterscotch or white morsels instead of chocolate.

Snickerdoodle Monkey Bread Recipe – Easy Canned Biscuit Hack

Posted by Darlene on March 7, 2020 at 7:51 am

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

Check out this huge selection of Betty Crocker Cookbooks!

INGREDIENTS:
2 cans (16.3 oz each) Pillsbury Grands!™ Southern Homestyle refrigerated Buttermilk biscuits (8 biscuits each)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, melted
Optional: tub of frosting
(see my tips below for easy glaze)

See All My Patreon Video Titles!

DIRECTIONS:

1: Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with cooking spray.

2: Mix sugar and cinnamon in small bowl until well mixed.

3: Separate dough into 16 biscuits and cut each into quarters. Dip each piece into melted butter then roll in sugar mixture. Place in pan. Sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture.

4: Bake 34 to 38 minutes or until golden brown and no longer doughy in center. Cool 2 minutes. Loosen edges. Turn upside down onto serving plate. Cool 15 minutes.

Optional: if you want to frost, place tub of frosting in microwave for about 15 seconds and stir. Continue heating about 5 to 10 seconds at a time until soft. Spread over monkey bread.

Search for stuff you need on Amazon, on and at !

Darlene’s Tips: You can add some chopped nuts to this bread. Chop them fine and add them as you layer the dough pieces in the pan. You can also add some raisins for a raisin bread. For glaze instead of frosting, add a few drops of milk or water to a cup of powdered sugar and stir. Add a few more drops at a time until you get the consistency you like then drizzle over bread. You can add cinnamon to the glaze and also to the frosting.
