10-Minute No-Bake Snickers Cake + 100 Years Of Pyrex

By

Sponsored by: Pyrex®, a World Kitchen brand

Time is a funny thing. It it a constant game of speed up, slow down.

One day I am mentally pep-talking myself through Avery’s toddler mayhem, assuring myself I’ve been here before and there is light at the end of this toddler tunnel– and the next, I am pulling out my Pyrex measuring cups and baking dishes, fulfilling birthday cake requests for my oldest’s TENTH birthday and wondering where I can find the pause button.

We headed to my Mother’s house this weekend for an early “double digit” celebration with this ooey gooey Snickers ice-cream cake that you guys are going to L-O-V-E, not only because it is incredibly delish, but because it literally takes 10 minutes to create!

Are you drooling?

Wait til’ you see how easy it was to make.

But first, can we talk about how silly-excited I was to use my new Pyrex 3-Qt Portable Bag to transport this sweet treat?

Is it perfect or what??

It’s part of a limited edition vintage-inspired collection celebrating Pyrex’s 100th anniversary – and comes with an icepack that tucks into an inside sleeve, so it’s perfect for baked dishes as well as yummy cold make-and-takes like this one.

Pyrex glassware is a kitchen staple that I guard with my life because cooking/baking without it just isn’t the same.

So while we raise our glasses and indulge in lots of cake to celebrate our son’s “double digit milestone” and our decade of parenting (OMG!), lets all raise our (measuring) glasses to toast this kitchen icon to an even brighter future filled with lots of delicious meals and sweet treats!

7 Easy Steps To Make Cakepop Icecream Cones

By

My kids LOVE cakepops (who doesn’t?)

Cakepops are the first thing they ask for when I mention stopping at Starbucks. We’ve had them as party favors, but we’ve never really made them before in the house.

The other day we were headed out to a get together and bringing dessert.  I wanted to try something different, so after seeing some adorable ice-cream cakepops on Pinterest, I was inspired to give this whole cakepop-making-thing a whirl.

I was surprised at how incredibly easy they are to make!

How To Make Cake Pop Ice Cream Cones

Ingredients: 

  • 1 box of cake mix of choice (I used yellow cake- my fave!)
  • Ingredients listed on back of cake mix (typically eggs and oil)
  • Tub of vanilla frosting (I used vanilla)
  • SMALL waffle cones (the size is important!)
  • Chocolate chips
  • vegetable oil
  • wax paper

Step 1-

Bake cake as directed on box. Remove from oven, let cool.

Step 2-

Crumble cake and mix in about 2/3 of the tub of frosting. The recipe I originally saw called for the whole tub of frosting but I personally thought that was a bit much, so I used less and was happy with the outcome. 

Step 3-

Roll mixture into cake-pop balls and place on wax paper. Refrigerate.

At this point if you were just making regular cake pops, you could put a stick in the center and refrigerate them until ready to dip.

Step 4–

Prep your cones!  You are going to need something to hold the cones upright. I poked holes in the empty cone box, but I think you could probably also use a cupcake tree to hold them up too.

As I mentioned in the ingredients, the size of the cone is SO important.  The bigger the cone, the bigger the cake pop ball has to be and the bigger the cake pop ball the heavier and harder to balance it becomes– I learned the hard way. Plus, as delicious as cakepops are, there is such a thing as “too much” cake-pops- no one wants to eat 3 lbs of cake and frosting.  Nabisco has a good size waffle cone.

Step 5–

Melt your chocolate with a teaspoon of vegetable oil. This makes the chocolate smoother.

Step 6–

Dip 1/2 of the cake pop ball into the chocolate and place inside the cone. This will help it stick to the cone.

Allow chocolate to dry. If you can move into the refrigerator this may make help speed up the process.

Step 7–

Dip the rest of your cone into the chocolate and add sprinkles!

{Skinny} White Chocolate Keylime Pie – 3 ways

By

Keylime pie and white chocolate are two of my husband’s all time favorite guilty pleasures. I knew combining the two would instantly be a hit– So last week for Valentine’s Day, I searched around for a recipe… but in true Corine-fashion, I couldn’t help but attempt to cut calories and swap out ingredients.

{Did You Know?} Traditional Keylime pie recipes are approx 480 calories per serving, with 13 grams of fat!– YIKES!

I wanted to make this white chocolate keylime pie as low-cal and healthy as possible… because being able to say it is “half the calories and just as delicious” makes it just a little bit sweeter.

I spent a lot of time calculating calories and such and came up with 3 different versions, each cutting out a few more calories. I couldn’t decide which I wanted to share… so, I am sharing all three–

The Skinny White Chocolate Keylime Pie,  The Super Skinny White Chocolate Keylime Pie (6 Points Plus® Points), … and The Ultra low points White Chocolate Keylime Pie in a glass– which is just 4 Weight Watchers Points Plus® points! {woohoo!!}
