One of our favorite Cajun families is coming up for a visit to see our family.  My mom asked me to bring desserts.  I selected a two desserts that were hits at previous events.  One is a new experiment for me.

Cream Cheese Fudge

First, I made the cream cheese fudge.  I make this for church gatherings a lot because it is incredibly easy (just two ingredients and no baking), delicious, and travels well.

 

 

Peanut Butter and Corn Chip No Bake Cookies

I first made this recipe for a potluck at church.  I received lots of compliments and recipe requests.  This is where I found the recipe.  I rarely follow recipes, but this one is worth following to the letter.

I will say that I thought I remembered the recipe and attempted to make this without rereading the recipe.  I mixed the sugar, corn syrup, and peanut butter together then began cooking them.  It turned out gritty.  My boys loved it because they got to eat my mistake while I remade it for the gathering.  Here is my finished product.

Strawberry Fluff Jello Salad

This was a new recipe for me.  I thought I followed it fairly closely, but I’m not sure that I let the jello/pudding/water mixture refrigerate long enough.  It is still really good.

Here is my final product:

I encourage you to try each of these.  Delicious, easy, and a lot of fun to make.
