Homemade 3 Musketeers Bars

One of my favorite candy bars, but I especially like the mini size. A regular or large size is just too much.

Recipe found at Monster Mama


Only Three Ingredients
2 c semi sweet choc chips
1 (8oz) tub of Cool Whip
2 c choc candy coating wafer melts

Here's the how to:
Melt choc chips in microwave about 30 seconds. Stir and return to microwave for 15 seconds. Stir and continue to melt at 10 second intervals until melted.

Mix the melted chocolate on high speed for 30 seconds. Add the Cool Whip to melted chocolate and beat just until combined and fluffy 30-60 seconds.

Spread into 8' square pan lined with wax paper. Place in freezer for about 30 minutes. Remove from freezer, remove candy from pan and cut into squares. Return to freezer.

Melt candy wafers in microwave following package directions. Take out frozen squares and dip into melted chocolate. Place on tray lined with wax paper. Allow chocolate to set up in refrigerator or freezer.

Store in airtight container in refrigerator or freezer.

Milk and Cookies Bar

I love the milk and cookies bar, and I especially love the milk served in milk bottles. They can be re-filled quite easily from drink dispensers. Bake it Pretty


Re-use small bottles and label them. Spray paint the outer sides of the lid to cover up any old label. Sitting bottles in ice is a great way to keep it cold. EventTagious Daily Inspiration Blog


Cartons on ice work too. (don't know where I found this)

Wouldn't it be great to have assorted REAL cookie jars and crocks (depending on the occasion of course).


Don't know where I found this, but like the idea of wrapped cookies. Even a wrapped assortment.

Carameled Apple Bar/Table

Because I don't like biting into a caramel apple I like the idea of already made caramel apples sliced and ready to eat in sections, or with a knife sitting next to them to slice as you want to eat it.

Chop tart green apples into bite size pieces.
Chop Snickers bars (frozen or cold makes them easier to chop) into bite size pieces.
Combine them together in a bowl, and stir in Cool Whip. ENJOY!

If you have a lot of tea cups sitting around waiting to be used again, serve your ice cream in them. Bella Baker


Serving up a scoop of ice cream can be messy. So why not get it done before the event? Cupcake liners are a perfect way to help keep the ice cream where it should be. Set them out on a pretty platter and guests can pick up whatever flavors they desire. Real Simple
