Delicious, chewy cookies that only take three ingredients. I spotted this creative recipe over at Love to Be in the Kitchen. It utilizes graham cracker crumbs, sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips. Yep, that's it. If you love chewy, chocolatey cookies, you will probably love these. Enjoy!

Notes: The parchment is highly recommended as this is a very sticky cookie. If you were out of parchment, like I was, just spray the pan with cooking spray lightly and after they have cooled for about 30-40 minutes you can safely remove them from the baking pan. It takes some elbow grease to get them off the pan, but it can be done. This is why I urge you to use parchment paper. It will save you a lot of trouble.

Lovers of the traditional Watergate Salad will want to try my recipe for Pistachio & Coconut Cream Marshmallow Salad. Instead of solely using pistachio pudding I combined a box of pistachio and a box of delicious coconut cream jello. The result is absolutely delicious. Portion them out into little dishes and if you'd like, garnish with a bright red maraschino cherry. Enjoy!

Recently I posted a delicious recipe for Sweet Potato Puffs with Gorgonzola Sauce and Bacon at Mom Spark. Head on over to check it out!

Crisp apples, fluffy cool whip and pudding with Snickers bars make up this delicious side dish. This is one of those dessert "salads" which some people seem to be offended by. It is so delicious though!

Feel free to switch up what type of apples you use. Having made this with two sweet apple varieties, gala and golden delicious, I think a tart and sweet combo might be better, like granny smith and gala. Those were just my taste preferences though.

Please note- This salad is best served on the day it is made. I wouldn't recommend making this the day before. Keep it fresh and the apples crunchy by making it shortly before you plan on serving it. A few hours ahead of time is just fine, though.

Many thanks to Holly at Life In The Lofthouse who posted this recipe over at The Country Cook. The original recipe called for caramel sauce to be poured over the top, which I think might be more for presentation. It was super sweet just the way it was, so I skipped the sauce. Enjoy!

Using mini M&Ms on chocolate dipped and white chocolate drizzled pretzel rods makes for festive and delicious sweetness. You can swap out different colors to fit the theme of whatever holiday or party you have planned. I highly recommend the candy bark / almond bark for these. They melt much smoother and easier than using chocolate chips.

Lay out parchment paper, spoon the milk chocolate over the rods and spread it all over, leaving an uncoated area at the bottom for holding them. Let them set on the parchment for about 20 minutes. Then melt the white chocolate, add it to a ziploc and snip a very small end in a corner, and drizzle. Immediately top with the M&Ms and let set.

For the pretzel rods that have sprinkles shown above, those are the Caramel and Chocolate Dipped Pretzel Rods I posted over at Mom Spark.
