Yogurt Jello Bites are one that we recently discovered in our quest to make yogurt more fun!!!!

Ingredients:

1 container plain yogurt

1 pkg of jello powder ( Your choice in flavor)

Directions:

In a microwave safe bowl, mix the yogurt and pkg of jello.  Put into microwave for 1 minute then stir.  Continue cooking in microwave for 1 minute increments until the jello powder is completely dissolved.  Pour into paper lined muffin tins and put in fridge to set at least 1 hour.   Remove paper and serve with whipped cream or your choice of fruit.

Hi Everyone,

This is a very simple recipe that we get asked for on a regular basis.

Hi Everyone,

There are many times that we have parents asking, how did you make this?   Or your children telling you about the food Margorie or Amy make and you just cant seem to duplicate it?   Margorie and I are coming to your rescue!!!  Over the next few months we will post a new recipe each week that your children love or you have been asking for.

Our first recipe is what I made for Margorie’s birthday dessert to share with the parents.   Please remember that I did make about 65 portions of this so I have done my best to adjust the recipe.

NO BAKE CARAMEL TOFFEE CHEESECAKE

1/2 tsp lemon juice (don’t add this if you are using yogurt)

1/2 cup sugar

2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs

3 tbsp melted margarine or butter

Caramel sauce

Toffee bits, butterscotch chips or even crushed Scor chocolate bar

6 – 8 cups or bowls create your delicious masterpiece in

Directions:

In a bowl combine Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter, mix with a fork until well combined.  Spoon evenly into your cups.  In a large bowl combine Cream cheese(yogurt), vanilla, lemon juice and sugar.  Beat with a hand blender until smooth and creamy.  In a separate bowl add the heavy cream and beat until it forms stiff peaks, then add to the cream cheese mixture.   Fold these two together, then spoon evenly into your cups.  Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle on candy topping.  Put in the refrigerator for 1 hour to cool and set up a bit.  Then enjoy!!!

**Note we do not really measure and I have done my best to cut the recipe into more family sized portions but they may need a bit of adjusting***

Stay tuned for next weeks recipe!!!!!!!!!!!
