Funfetti Dip

Do you remember the old Dunkaroo dips? They had little graham crackers, and vanilla frosting with sprinkles. I couldn't get my mom to buy them very often, but I loved those things. So, when I stumbled across something that claimed to taste like it... I jumped on that. 

I will say that this funfetti cake mix dip isn't QUITE how I remember the Dunkaroo dips tasting, but it's pretty close. Close as I'm going to get, at least.

Unless someone happens to be going to Canada and wants to bring me back some... because apparently those things are still available in Canada. It might be the pregnancy hormones talking, but I am seriously tempted to order some. (But, the least expensive is $8 for a 5 pack... I think I'll have to refrain. I don't think Nate would be understanding of that...)

Anyways, back to the dip: this stuff is GOOD. It does make a ton though, so unless you are feeding a crowd and can pawn the leftovers off on someone, I really recommend cutting the recipe in half.

Easter Oreo Bark

Easter is coming up shockingly fast. The whole month of March, I kept telling myself I had lots of time for Easter goodies, none of that is til after our vacation anyways...

Well, we've been back for a week, and Easter is next week. Time to get on top of it! I'm still planning my contributions to Easter dinner with the family, but I wanted to get a few fun goodies for the kids going.

I have a couple things that are fun for the boys to make-- Easter Marshmallow Bark, and Easter Oreo Bark. (Similar... kinda.) I know my mom really enjoys things similar to the oreo bark, so I made that tonight as a thank you for some stuff she's done lately! I had two super cute helpers, too. They were both pretty excited, they love making things like this.

(This picture is actually from last year, when I didn't add peanuts.)

Oh, and FYI: All measurements are rough. I just add things until it looks like enough. ;) This is really something that you can just add whatever you have to, and it'll be yummy. I've done similar things subbing pretzels, Reese's Pieces... I can't even remember. Whatever I had handy!

Chocolate Chip Sprinkle Cookies

I meant to post this ages, but apparently I forgot.... oops!

We had Easter with my extended family a few weeks ago, and I always bring a dessert (or two). I wanted to bring the Cherry Kuchen Bars, but I couldn't decide what else to make... then I remembered this! I found this recipe on Pinterest and wanted to try it when I could share them with a lot of people, so a family gathering was the perfect time! (Besides, who doesn't like sprinkles??)

They turned out amazing. They are definitely pretty sugary, but so worth having a few! (I think the kids really liked them, too!) My only complaints are that 1) the sprinkles don't stick well without a bit of extra effort, and 2) they get pretty hard after a few days. I am considering adding a little extra Crisco/egg next time, and see if that helps. However, if you don't expect them to last more than a day or two, the only problem is getting the sprinkles to stick. That just takes some extra work when you are rolling them.

I will definitely be making these again!

Remember, comments are love! Let me know if you try them!

Chocolate Chip Sprinkle Cookies
