DESSERT HINTS

Oops! I didn't write anything yesterday....I was just too busy I guess. I taught at the college in the afternoon. Dad went with me which was very helpful--it's difficult to do one-on-one teaching when there are 15 students! Yesterday was my Basic Internet class. It's hard to cover everything I wanted in just two hours!

OK, well, here's today's hints:

Mint Brownies: Make brownies as directed.Melt Andes mints in double broiler and pour over warm brownies.Let set for a wonderful minty frosting.

Quick Dessert: Leftover snickers bars from Halloween make a delicious dessert.Simply chop them up with a food chopper.Peel, core and slice a few apples.Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle the chopped candy bars over the apples.Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream.

Expanding Frosting: When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving.

Reheating refrigerated bread: To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.
