Toffee Apple Dip

1 (8oz) pkg cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1/2-1 (11oz) pkg Heath milk chocolate toffee bits

FRESH PEACH DESSERT

If there is any possible way to get your hands on some fresh peaches...RUN. GET THEM. AND MAKE THIS ASAP!

Fresh Peach Dessert

2/3 cup powdered sugar

3/4-1 cup butter, softened

2 pkg. graham crackers; crushed

12-14 medium peaches or 7-8 large; peeled & sliced

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 pt. whipping cream (I don't use it all, maybe 3/4 of it)

Mix cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, & butter. Save a small amount to sprinkle on top, press the rest into the bottom of a glass 9 x 13 pan. Whip the cream and add a little vanilla and powdered sugar until set, set aside. Mix the sweetened condensed milk with lemon juice. Then place the peaches on the crust and pour the milk/lemon mixture on top. Spread the fresh cream on top of that and sprinkle with remaining crust. Refrigerate.

*This is so light and fresh, but you have to share it or half it because it is best if enjoyed in the first 24 hours!

Honey Lime Fruit Salad

1 (20oz) can pineapple chunks drained
2-3 ripe kiwi peeled and sliced thick
1 cup green or red grapes, halved
1 cup strawberries, quartered
zest from 1 lime
1-2 Tbsp honey
1 tsp poppy seeds

Combine fruit, lime zest and poppy seeds. Gently toss. Drizzle honey over fruit and gently mix till coated with honey. Serve within an hour if you don't want the strawberries to stain the fruit.

Serves 4-6

DELICIOUS GRAPE SALAD

This fruit salad was soooo yummy and different from anything I've had lately.

2 lbs green grapes

2 lbs red grapes

1 (8oz) pkg cream cheese, softened

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

Mix cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla till smooth, then toss with grapes.

When ready to serve mix and top with:

1 cup chopped pecans

You'll want to serve this in a shallow bowl or even a deep plate/platter so that every serving gets some of the topping. Yum, yum, yum.

PRETZEL JELLO SALAD

NOTE: I CHANGED A FEW THINGS ON THIS RECIPE FROM THE FIRST TIME I POSTED IT SO BE SURE TO USE THIS NEW VERSION, IT WORKS MUCH BETTER.

Okay, maybe I'm the only person who hasn't had this before but just in case I'm not I'll post it because as weird as it sounded to me at first I LOVED it. I saw this pic of it on my friend Mandi's blog and then got a recipe for it from my sister. Something about all the different flavors and textures together just make it so tasty!



Layer 1

• 2 1/2 cups crushed pretzels
• 3/4 cup melted butter
• 3 Tbsp sugar

Mix together and press into bottom of 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Let cool.

Layer 2

• 8 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup sugar
• 8 oz Cool Whip

Cream together cream cheese and sugar then fold in Cool Whip. Spread on cooled pretzels. Make SURE to seal-don't leave any holes that Jello will leak through.

Layer 3

• 1 large pkg Jello (strawberry or raspberry)
• 16-18 oz frozen berries (rasp, strawb, black, blue)

Stir Jello into 1 1/2 cups boiling water and dissolve. Add 6 ice cubes (8 if berries aren't frozen). Dissolve ice cubes. Add frozen berries. Stir. Pour over the other layers. Chill in fridge until Jello is completely set.
