A Winner--Hands Down!


If you have never had chocolate eclair dessert, you don't know what you have missed! It is a super easy dessert to make but it is always a favorite of my guests. It is very creamy and the chocolate icing on top makes it a melt-in-your mouth favorite. Just be sure you make this 6-8 hours before you want to serve it to allow time for the graham crackers to soften. If you haven't chosen a dessert for your special Valentine yet, you're in luck! Assemble today and enjoy tomorrow!

Chocolate Eclair Dessert
2 (3 oz.) pkgs. instant French vanilla pudding
3 c. milk
1 (8 oz.) carton Cool Whip
1 pkg. graham crackers

6 tbsp. butter
3 tbsp. corn syrup

Best-Ever Apple Pie--Really!

You just can't beat a good ol' American apple pie for a great dessert. This recipe was featured in the September 2008 issue of Southern Living. It has five pounds of apples in it!! The picture above is the picture of the pie I made. It was so good! As you read the recipe, you will notice that the crust is a little different--it has cornmeal in it. It also uses apple juice as the wetting agent. The trick is rolling the top crust out large enough to cover that mound of apples. If you love apple pie, try this one. I don't think you'll be disappointed!
