Cream Cheese Mints

1 3-ounce package of cream cheese, softened
½ tsp of peppermint extract (or other flavouring)
3 cups sifted powdered sugar
Few drops of food colouring

1. Combine softened cream cheese and peppermint extract. Gradually add powdered sugar, stirring until mixture is smooth. (Knead in the last of the powdered sugar with your hands.) Add food colouring; knead until evenly distributed.
2. Form cream cheese mixture into 1/2 –inch balls and placed on waxed paper. Flatten each ball with the bottom of a juice glass or with the tines of a fork. (Or sprinkle small candy molds lightly with sugar. Press ¾ to 1 teaspoon cream cheese mixture into each mold. Remove from molds.) Cover the mints with paper towels and let stand overnight. Store mints tightly covered in the refrigerator or freezer for up to 1 month.

Energy Bars that taste like cookie dough

1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 Tb honey
1 tsp vanilla
tart cherries (I don't have any so I used semi-sweet chocolate chips instead)

Stir all of the ingredients together. Press into a small pan and place in the fridge. Cut up into squares. I admittedly ate it with a fork after. It is really good, slightly indulgent, but so much better for a person than actual cookie dough.

These Apple Nachos are FANTABULOUS! Yes, they are so good I had to make my own word to describe their deliciousness!

Here is Sugary Sweets' Recipe

4 large Granny Smith apples, sliced

35 large marshmallows

1/4 cup butter

35 caramels

1 Tbsp evaporated milk (or half and half)

1/4 cup mini semi-sweet morsels

2 Tbsp chocolate syrup

Slice apples and arrange on platter. In saucepan, melt marshmallows and butter until creamy. Set aside. In microwave dish, melt caramels with milk (cooking in 30 second intervals, and stirring). Set aside. Pour marshmallow cream over apple slices, followed by caramel sauce. Drizzle chocolate syrup and sprinkle with peanuts and mini chocolate morsels. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Apples will brown if they sit out for not very long. To help remedy the browning soak your sliced apples in a bowl or sink covered with water and some lemon. The amount of lemon depends on the amount of water, but I would suggest a couple of squirts - yes that is a measuring technique. This will let let the apples sit for an hour or two without browning - if they last that long!

Whenever we have a family gathering, my sister always brings a fruit salad. Just a bunch of fresh fruits, cut up and mixed together. It always varies depending on what's in season and on sale. But usually there's pineapple, grapes and strawberries, cut-up mango, or this time of year blueberries and raspberries on top (can't mix-in the raspberries, they'll get smushed).
Everyone always loves having some fruit salad after a heavy meal.
