Thank you COOL WHIP for sponsoring this post. Join us on Facebook for inspiration and recipes for everyday treats. What you add makes it. #coolwhipmoms

My kids absolutely enjoy desserts.  I like serving everyday desserts because I LOVE sweets!  I also enjoy baking and experimenting.  Because I bake and experiment, we almost always have desserts around.  (They often get sent to work with my husband so that I don’t eat them all day!)

I use COOL WHIP Whipped Topping because I like the texture and flavor of the creamy treat.

One of our favorite recipes, Graham Cracker Chocolate Eclair Dessert, came from a friend.  It’s super simple to make and it’s delicious!  I would definitely recommend it as an everyday treat!

Ingredients:

  • 2 small packages of Jello Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix (I am a rebel, so I used one large box of Jello.)
  • 3 cups milk
  • 8 ounces COOL WHIP
  • 1 (16 ounce) box graham crackers (you will have some leftovers)
  • 1 (15 ounce) container chocolate frosting
Directions: 
  1. Cover with plastic wrap and let set a couple hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. Cut and serve.
We all love this recipe and it’s ALWAYS a success!  When my husband signs up for dessert at work pot lucks, this is what I make because everyone enjoys it.  If you are looking for something simple to make, this is it!
Then, I decided to try a NEW (to us) everyday treat from the COOL WHIP recipes site – Dirt & Worm Cakes.  I made these for a play-date and they were fantastic!  One of our play-date friends doesn’t like jello, but he thought these were excellent!  I can definitely see us making these again!!
Ingredients:
  • 24 white cupcakes
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O Orange Flavor Gelatin
  • 2 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping
  • 48 worm-shaped chewy fruit snacks
  • 2 OREO Cookies, finely crushed (about 3 Tbsp.)
Directions:
  • Place cupcakes in muffin pan cups. Use large fork to pierce holes at 1/4-inch intervals in tops of cupcakes.
  • Add boiling water to gelatin mix; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved.  Drizzle over cupcakes with small spoon.
  • Refrigerate 3 hours or until gelatin is firm.  When ready to serve, dip bottom of muffin pan in warm water 10 sec.; unmold onto serving plate. Frost with COOL WHIP. Garnish with remaining ingredients.
**NOTE:  Again, I was a rebel and used Strawberry-Banana Jell-O, not Orange.
