Sensational Snickers Salad by Chanda Hackanson

There are two ways to make snickers salad, the following recipe is simple, but it makes a ton. If you are wanting to make enough for one family, I would definitely half this recipe. People will love this!!!

1 1/2 large boxes of vanilla pudding (not cooked)
1 large container cool whip
8 granny smith apples, skinned and cubed.
2 cups of buttermilk (If you don't have buttermilk, you can make this using 1 cup of milk and either 1 tbsp. of lemon juice or 1 tbsp. of vinegar) Either one works. Let it sit for a few minutes before mixing it into the recipe.
1 package of fun size snickers, cut up.

Mix everything together and let the salad chill for at least an hour before serving. It is sure to be a hit at any party.

You can also make snickers salad by doing the following:

Cut up 4-5 granny smith apple
Cut up 4-5 snickers candy bars
Add 1 large container of cool whip

Mix it all up and it will be great, this recipe of less fattening than the other, but John prefers the top recipe.

Delicious Deviled Eggs

The other day, we were at a party where they served deviled eggs. John was like, these are my favorite things in the entire world and he ate a ton of them. It was at this point that I felt bad and decided I need to learn to make them myself.

I found the easiest recipe I could find and made these. They were much easier to make than I thought that they would be. If you want to try it, here is what I did.

I put 8 eggs in cold water and then brought the water to a boil, as soon as the water had big bubbles and was really boiling, I took it off the heat. Make sure to have a lid on the pan that you use. The recipe said 6, but I wanted to eat one and thought that one might break, so this is why I used 2 extra eggs. This recipe would also be really easy to double if you are making it for a party.

After taking them off the heat, let them sit in the hot water for 30 minutes, add 1 tsp. of salt to the water, for some reason, it makes the eggs easier to peel.

Next, I dumped out the water and added cold water with ice to help the eggs cool. I let them sit for a few minutes.

Next, I peeled the eggs....This is the fun part.

Next, I cut the eggs in half and scooped out the middle part, it actually just fell out in the bowl.

I mixed the egg yokes with the following and now we have deviled eggs.

6 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and cut lengthwise
¼ cup Light Mayonnaise
½ teaspoon dry ground mustard
½ teaspoon white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Paprika for garnish

Pop out (remove) the egg yolks to a small bowl and mash with a fork. Add mayonnaise, mustard powder, vinegar, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. Fill the empty egg white shells with the mixture and sprinkle lightly with paprika.

Cover lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving.

I found this recipe on the internet.

Homeade Oreo Cakesters

1 devils food cake mix
1/2 c. shortening or 1/3 cup oil.
2 eggs

Mix these ingredients together. Roll the dough into dime sized balls and put them on a cookie sheet. I then pressed them down a little bit so that they would bake flatter.
Bake at 350 degree for 8 minutes. After 8 minutes, they might not seem done, but take them out anyways, or they will get hard. As they cool, they will get softer.


Let them cool.

Then spread cream cheese frosting in the middle of two cookies and wala....They are done and they are great.
This will make about 15-20 cookies. I would strongly recommend doubling the recipe if you have a large family.

You can also make thicker cream cheese frosting using the following mixture if you would like a thicker middle:

1 8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 square butter
2 tsp. vanilla
2 to 4 cups of powdered sugar, based on how thick you want it.

Mix these things together until they are smooth.


(I use cream cheese frosting out of pure laziness and it still tastes great!)
