You know those times when you’re in the kitchen, staring into the fridge looking for answers?  Those moments when you want something.. anything to snack on, but you have no idea what it is?  

It was that exact moment for me.. that brought use here together, right now.  

Yep~  I saw some lonely bacon in there, and I knew that deep inside the cavernous depths of my pantry, I had my emergency stash of ROLO’s!  

The time had come to create what ended up being one of the most strange, yet delectable, most satisfying snacks I’ve ever snuck into my mouth before anyone could judge me see me do it.  

Behold~  ROLO BACON BOMS!  

The perfect combo of salty, sweet, crispy, chewy, chocolaty, warm, melty-caramely goodness known to mankind..lol.  Each little ROLO-filled bacon bomb, sends your senses soaring into the stratosphere… and beyond.  

These bomb-babies will explode, and then, as if they’re messing with your head, .. gently & slowly melt loads of deliciously dangerous ROLO-caramel in your mouth, and deep into your soul, // oh, you can try, but there’s nowhere to hide… take cover and protect your waistline. 

~Make LOTS!

What you’ll need:

Bacon .. THIN sliced!!  1/2 slice per bomb

ROLOS! .. one ROLO per bomb

oil for frying

Directions;

On a sheet pan, lay out the ROLOS and freeze them for one hour – over night

Cut the bacon slices evenly in half, and roll one ROLO inside, making sure to cover the ROLO completely!  Secure with a toothpick..

Fry them one at a time in the hot (350 degree) oil until the bacon is golden and the ROLO is still in tact…  this goes FAST!

Serve them warm, ,, with napkins!  And DIG IN!  ~Enjoy!  🙂

Ahhh~ Of all the amazing things that have ever been snickered and/or doodled, the best one to come along has GOT to be this one…simply because we literally don’t have to do much of anything to enjoy it.  Oh, and it’s also amazingly tasty as well.

~That’s right, my laziness has prevailed again here folks.

Thanks to the magic of the slow cooker, this Snickerdoodle totally snickers and doodles itself.  While you tend to other important things..like umm, waiting for this scrumptious creation to be done.

And what a worthwhile wait it will be~  that I can promise you.

Each warm, cinnamon filled, sticky-scooped, caramelized buttery bite will hug each of your senses at the same time in the most succulent and loving embrace you’ve ever had.. and will serve as a delicious reminder of why you exist.  😉

What you’ll need:

1 container of pillsbury grands flaky layers biscuits (8 count)

1 cup milk

1-14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk

1 cup (or so) of caramel topping…divided to reserve some for topping

2 tbsp. cinnamon

ice cream for topping

Directions:

Spray the inside walls of your slow cooker with some non stick spray.

Now add in the milk and cinnamon…

Cut each biscuit into 4 equal pieces and add them into the slow cooker…

And approx. 1/2 cup of the caramel…

Top it with the sweetened condensed milk…

Add the cinnamon on top, and give it a gentle stir to coat all the biscuits and mix up the sauce a bit…

Set your slow cooker on medium and check it periodically as you stir it now and then as well.  Every slow cooker is different, so simply cook this until the biscuits are firm and not raw anymore.

When it’s done, you can set the slow cooker to warm, and add in some scoops of ice cream that will slowly melt into the most incredible sauce EVER…

..add a drizzle of caramel sauce over the top… because you can. 🙂

Then go in, go deep, start scooping…

Serve this one-of-a-kind snickerdoodle up and sit back and see what happens to anyone who eats it…

OR just eat it all yourself, it will be our little secret!  ~Enjoy!  🙂

How cute are these mini crispy apple pies?

I feel like food just tastes better when it’s petite and personal, the fact that you don’t have to share any is just a bonus..lol!

These crunchy, pretty little pies are SO simple, succulent and adorable that they’ll become one of your favorite go-to treats!  They’re like the perfect combo of those fried apple pies that you get at the checkout, combined with the freshness of a crisp apple straight from the orchard!  You can start the day with three one or end the day with four one…either way you’ll love them!

The light & crispy, crunchy shell holds in all of that tender apple goodness while the toppings take them over the top and allow for everyone to make the their own fabulous flavors!

~Make a batch and settle in with a big scoop of cold ice cream and cup of coffee or tea, you can thank me later! 🙂

What you’ll need:

Fresh apples

large egg roll wrappers..one per apple

1 egg

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. apple pie spice

caramel sauce for drizzling

powdered sugar for dusting

oil for frying …i used canola

Directions:

Peel your apples…

..and cut them in half, scoop out the center where the seeds are…

**SIDE NOTE**  These apples maintain a nice texture, if you’d like a softer apple, blanch them in some boiling water for a minute or two to soften them up before wrapping and frying them!

Lay out one wrapper and place one apple half in the center, brush the edges with some egg…

Now, seal them up very well.  Fry them up in the hot (350 degree) oil until they’re evenly golden on both sides…

Mix up some powdered sugar with the cinnamon and apple pie spice for delicious dusting!

Let them cool…

I’ve been on this HUGE dessert/breakfast morphing kick thingy lately and I have to say, it’s TONS of delicious fun!  The possibilities are truly endless when the most important meal of the day is combined with the most fun ‘meal’ of the day..lol!

The cheesecake is a match made in heaven for that toasty, tender waffle and you can literally see all the pockets of creamy cheesecake suspended inside the fluffy, tender waffle ..it’s like crazy-culinary magic.

Don’t you just love it when two amazing and incredible things come together by a force of nature, and create an even better amazing thing?!!  I do!  And this Caramel Crumb Cheesecake is your proof..just in case you need it! 🙂

I’m SO addicted to anything with a crumb topping!  It’s the best part of anything that has it..and I’ll pick off all that topping every single time..no shame!  LOL!

BUT~  when that topping is layered high on top of some rich and creamy cheesecake, there’s NO crumb stealing going on at all.

~It’s ALL GOOD!

Each bite is over the top delicious with that creamy cheesecake and sweet crumble combo.. they’re made for each other!

What you’ll need:

A cheesecake~  I used store bought, but feel free to make your own.

1 cup caramel topping

Crumb Topping:

1 cup flour

3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter..softened
2 tbsp. chopped nuts of your choice
a small splash of water, if necessary to bring it together.

Directions:

Simply mix up the crumble topping…

…pile it nice and high on top of that cheesecake.

Admire the WOW factor!

Drizzle with caramel…

…and eat it UP!  ~Enjoy! 🙂

Soo..I have a confession, I’ve been seeing LOTS of these dessert style “Lasagna’s” floating around the cyber clouds recently and they’ve bugged me…haha!  The idea of calling a layered dessert a “Lasagna” or calling a bowl full of frosting & snickers’ chunks a “Snickers Salad” was just something I didn’t like, which is kind of strange for me, since I am the queen of food/name mash-ups!  I know..so weird! 🙂

But, whatever~  I had a change of heart the second that this sweet little layered ‘lasagna’ idea popped into my head..and here we are! 🙂

I decided to get on board the sweet, dessert “Lasagna” train and layer up some goodness of my own…in the form of thick, rich cheesecake, and tender graham crackers, dripping in caramel.  Is that alright with you??  ..I hope so!  😉

Working your way through every sweet, creamy, cheesecake-filled, graham cracker layer is heavenly and when you drizzle a little caramel over the top… Ooo~  it’s double heaven!

~Ahhh..YEAH!  This winner couldn’t be any easier and the payoff is HUGE!  Make a pan of this today and smile for the next week (maybe even two weeks..lol)!  🙂

What you’ll need:

8x6x2″ deep pan

Box of Graham Crackers..the entire box..every. last. cracker.

Cool Whip  (8 oz.)

1 lb. container of Cheesecake Filling

1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs

Caramel for drizzling

Directions:

In a large bowl combine the cool whip and the cheesecake filling, gently folding until fully combined…

Simply layer the graham crackers with about 1/2″ or so of the filling, starting with a single layer of the graham crackers on the bottom.

Gently spread the filling evenly over the cracker layers. The first layer is the hardest, as the crackers want to move around~  it gets easier as the weight of the layers start to hold everything in place.

Just keep layering so the top layer is the filling!

Now simply sprinkle the top with the Graham Cracker Crumbs…

Annnd..into the freezer it goes, until you’re ready to serve!

JUST before you serve, go ahead and drizzle some of the caramel all over the top.  If you do this before it goes into the freezer, it’s ok..just a bit stickier to cut and serve.

Serve up a mile-high slice and listen for the Oooh’s and Ahhh’s…

Feel free to add more caramel to each serving..because..YUM!

Look around at all of the hungry faces that have now gathered around you…

Store any leftovers in the freezer..obviously..haha!  ..if there is any left!  ~Enjoy!:)
