Banana Cream Pie

Ingredients:

Crust:

8 sheets graham crackers (1 1/2 cups crumbs)

3 TBSP. Sugar

1/3 cup Butter melted

Filling:

2 bananas sliced

1 small package of vanilla pudding mix

1 3/4 cup milk

Top with: 

1/2 8oz container Kool Whip

I love banana cream pie! This one is super easy and not too bananaey. I've done it with banana pudding but vanilla is the best. Also note that it tastes the best the first day you make it; After it leaks a weird liquid. Everyone I make this for loves it. Hope you do too!

Directions: 

1. Crush graham crackers in a blender until pulverized.

2. In a bowl mix graham crackers, sugar and melted butter until well incorporated. Press into a pie plate.

3. Layer in sliced bananas. Pour pudding on top. Place in fridge for a few. When ready to serve spoon Kool whip on top. Careful when you cut it. Mine is always a mess.

1 12 oz. container Cool Whip

1 pkg. frozen raspberries.

Mix pudding powder and yogurt together, fold in Cool Whip, and stir in the raspberries.

Oreo Truffles

Today I made these for a bake sale for my student with cancer. Please read his story at paytynsarmy.org. It's an incredible story for an incredible kid!

I absolutely love these easy delectable Oreo truffles. The regular or double stuff are delicious but I really love them with mint Oreos. Adjust your cream cheese to how you like the center.

Ingredients:

1 package Oreos (pick your flavor)

1 8oz package cream cheese (softened)

Chocolate white or milk for dipping about a 16 oz package. I did half of both.

Directions: 

1. Crush cookies to desired consistency. But no huge chucks. (I've used my food processor, rolling pin smack method and used a cup to crush them in a bowl). Depends on which type of mess you want I suppose. 

2. Mix in cream cheese with crushed Oreos until well mixed.

3. Scoop out spoonfuls and place in a bowl or on wax paper on a tray. Place in fridge until firm (overnight is what I do).

5. Once chilled melt chocolate in a bowl with a little bit of shortening (1tbsp).

4. Roll Oreo balls I hand a couple times to make smooth. Dip in chocolate and place one wax paper. Chill in fridge and there you go.

My notes:

*I prefer them really tiny but large ones are fun too!

*Feel free to go crazy with toppings. I had extra chocolate to drizzle. Sprinkles and crushed cookie leftovers are great too. 

Enjoy!
