Pineapple Baked Beans

A different take of baked beans...a little sweet and tropical & it's a Paula Deen recipe so you know it's good! :-)

4 (16 oz) cans baked beans (plain)

1 20 oz can crushed pineapple (drained)

1 cup molasses

1 cup bbq sauce

2 TB yellow or brown mustard

5 slices cooked/crumbled bacon

1 (6 oz) can french-fried onions

salt/pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350.

In large bowl mix together beans, pineapple, molasses, bbq sauce, mustard, & half onions. Add some salt/pepper to taste. Pour into 13x9 and top with bacon & remainder of onions. cook for 1 hour or until heated through and brown on top!

Ice-Cream Sandwich Dessert

This is seriously one of the easiest and yummiest desserts ever! And you can make a ton of different versions of it! Great for the summer!

All you need:

1 box ice-cream sandwiches

1 jar hot fudge sauce

1 tub Cool Whip

Unwrap ice-cream sandwiches & layer them in the bottom of 9x13. Warm up hot fudge and pour over the ice-cream sandwiches, spread it all around. Top with Cool Whip. Put back in freezer to let it harden up...you want to let it thaw a little bit before serving! You can try different flavors of ice-cream sandwiches to jazz it up as well!

Oreo Balls

One of my favs...seriously good and easy!

All you need are 3 ingredients.

1 package of oreos

1 package of cream cheese (softened)

1 package of almond bark or other melting chocolate

First you dump all the oreos into a food processor and grind em up until super fine...it'll look like dirt when you're done.
Then toss in that hunk of cream cheese and dig in with your hands...I've found no other way that works on this. You really have to work for awhile to get it all incorporated.

Then roll out the mixture into inch sized balls and lay on wax paper covered cookie sheet. Pop em in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
While your "balls" are freezing melt the chocolate the way you choose (I did microwave). Drop the balls into the chocolate, coat well, shake off excess, and put back onto wax paper covered cookie sheet. Once complete, pop 'em back into the freezer for a while to harden.
Then ENJOY!!!
