“Empty Tomb” Marshmallow Delights

Noosiekins — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 07:27:40 +0000

So I saw this on The Girl Who Ate Everything and it’s so… smart…

They’re call “Marshmallow Delights” by Wendy Weisenburger and found on allrecipes

Here’s what you need:

1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
8 large marshmallows
1/4 cup butter, melted

Separate rolls into eight triangles. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Dip each marshmallow into butter, roll in cinnamon-sugar and place on a triangle. Pinch dough around marshmallow, sealing all edges. *Make sure to seal well or all the marshmallow will escape.

Dip tops of dough into remaining butter and cinnamon-sugar. Place with sugar side up in greased muffin cups. It helps to use jumbo muffin tins so that the juice doesn’t overflow.

Bake at 375 degrees for 13 to 15 minutes.

Give it a try…

With all the Oreos I’ve picked up in the past week for the last Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie, and looking for something simpler and would produce a few more cookies for a big BBQ…I went on Picky Palate and found another “oreo cookie” recipe…and well, another great success!!! Everyone LOVED it!!!

Overnight, it’s a little hard, but OMG fresh??? It’s EXTRA CHEWY!

OK. So this is what you need.

Ingredients:

2 sticks softened butter
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips, I used semi-sweet
1 cup cocoa powder
15 whole Oreo Cookies, finely ground

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner.

2. In a stand or electric mixer, beat butter and sugars until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until well combined.

3. Place flour, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl. Add to wet ingredients along with cocoa powder, and chocolate chips, slowly mixing until just combined. With a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart from each other. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until cooked through. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Serve with milk.

Makes 3 dozen cookies… and it’s best with vanilla ice-cream… heck use them to make ice-cream sandwiches with!!! YUM!

Quick blurb about the company from TeamBuy:

Although gaining ground to describe a popular chilled treat, the term “froyo” is actually the result of an intense freestyle rap battle at the North Pole between frozen dessert connoisseurs and world famous poets.

Qoola’s genuine fresh frozen yogurt is made from 100% natural ingredients, and packed with live and active cultures. Decadently creamy, irresistably tangy and superbly nutritious, Qoola’s fat-free, gluten-free, and certified kosher frozen yogurt will never disappoint. Some of the fresh fruit toppings include but are absolutely not limited to: bananas, raspberries, mango, and kiwi. Additional toppings may be mixed in to your small yogurt such as Cap n Crunch and yogurt chips.

As trendy as their unique name, Qoola’s froyo shops are decked out in modern furniture and lit with an ambiance that is cool and relaxing. They are also proudly Canadian and strive to support fellow Canadian producers and vendors. Qoola also maintains a constant initiative to reduce unnecessary waste by offering biodegradable, compostable and recycable products. Every little bit helps and when you visit a Qoola location, rest assured that you are supporting a business that cares about the environment.

2. You only receive the deal if enough people sign up to buy it before the deal closes (e.g. today’s deal requires a minimum of 50 people) so make sure you share the deal. Note that if not enough people sign up for the Daily Deal, no one gets it (and you will not be charged).
