Candy Corn Parfait

There are so many things that I love about this time of year! My most favorite is candy corn. This one is for the kids. They will have a blast helping you prepare it!


 

Ingredients
1 (20) oz can of pineapple chunks or 
    crushed pineapples
1 (15) oz can of mandarin oranges
1 (8) oz container of lite whipped topping
1 cup of marshmallow creme 
1/2 cup of crushed raw pumpkin kernels
Yellow food coloring
4 (8) oz glasses

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine half of the lite whipped topping with the marshmallow creme, until nice and smooth. Stir in the pineapples. Add enough food coloring to make the mixture a bright yellow. I used 20 drops.

Prepare the parfaits by first adding a Tbsp of the pumpkin kernels, and then topping the glass 1/3 of the way full with the creamy mixture. Add another Tbsp of the pumpkin kernels and then add the mandarin oranges to fill the glass 2/3 of the way full. Add another Tbsp of the pumpkin kernels and then top with the remaining lite whipped topping. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve. Enjoy! Makes 4 servings.

Peach Cobbler

One of my favorites desserts as a child was peach cobbler. When my mom made it, it was definitely a treat. This is a slightly different twist on it.
















Ingredients
5 cups of fresh sliced peaches 
    (canned peaches is also an option)
3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup of sugar (divided in half)
1 cup of butter softened
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1/2 cup of milk


Directions

Preheat oven to 350° degrees and then spray a 13" x 9 " pan lightly with cooking oil spray. Place the sliced peaches in the pan and sprinkle with half of the sugar. 

In a bowl, mix together the remaining sugar, flour, and butter until well blended. Add the milk and vanilla extract and combine all ingredients together (it should be a soft dough-like consistency). 

Top the peaches with the flour mixture, making sure to place some of the dough around the peaches (for the added breaded texture). Note: the dough can also be rolled out to 1/4 inch thickness for a lighter crust.

Cook for 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool for approximately 30 minutes! Enjoy!
