Marshmallow Delights

Another dessert. I promise I make more than sweets but here lately that's all I've been wanting! Stevie and I (Stevie is my sous chef HAHA and my right hand gal when it comes to anything cooking/advice/life) made these and they were the perfect pair to the drama on the Bachelorette! Yay for Frank! I loved his date with Ali. I think he is definitely going to be on there for a long time unless he screws up royally. And can we say thank goodness Craig M. is gone?! I was going to jump through the tv and punch him in the face myself! I often ask myself why I put myself through watching this stuff but it's just so addicting! Ok so enough about tv drama bring on this recipe!

Marshmallow Delights
1 can crescent rolls
1 bag large marshmallows
1/2 stick butter, melted
1 cup sugar
2 tblsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare muffin pan with non-stick spray and set aside. Take a marshmallow, dip in butter and roll in cinnamon and sugar, and place on each crescent roll. Pull crescent roll dough up and around the marshmallow bringing the edges together like a pouch. Dip the top in butter and cinnamon and sugar and place it sugar side up in the muffin pan. Bake for 12 minutes. Enjoy while they are warm!

*Note: They will puff up so don't open the oven until you take them out because it will cause them to deflate. Also, the marshmallow will melt into sugar so there will be no marshmallow in the middle just a sugary inside! We didn't think about this before and when we bit into it there was no marshmallow and we were a tad shocked!

This recipe only makes 8 but you are definitely going to want to make atleast 2 batches because they go fast!

Ooey Gooey Chocolate Ice Cream Cake

Happy Memorial Day! Today has been such a great day with great food! My dad had found this recipe which was in Southern Living and I had to try it because lets face it who wouldn't like ice cream, brownie, and snickers bars together? It turned out really well and everyone liked it but I do have a few adjustments that I would make when I make it next time. In the recipe it calls for 6 whole snickers but I used half a bag of mini snickers and cut them in half. Next time I'm going to cut them into fourths because they were too big to eat. It was a little hard to get out of the spring form pan so you might want to run a knife around the inside before you lift it out. In case you couldn't tell by the name, this cake is ooey, gooey, and very messy to deal with. As soon as you take it out of the pan it was messy. Definitely need to take it off the pan and put it on a serving plate before cutting into it. But after all that it is still a dessert that needs to be made! It's sooo good!

Ooey Gooey Chocolate Ice Cream Cake

1 cup butter
8 (1 ounce) squares semi-sweet chocolate (I used Baker's)
I cup Sugar
5 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, softened
6 Snickers bars or 1 bag of mini Snickers
3/4 cup of chocolate sauce
Garnish: chocolate sauce and caramel sauce
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine butter and chocolate. Microwave at high in 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until chocolate is melted and smooth.Whisk in sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Whisk in flour until smooth. Pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch springform pan. Place pan on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 25-35 minutes. It will look gooey in the center but it turns out fine! Let cool completely.
In a large bowl, combine ice cream and half of the chopped Snickers bars. Spread chocolate sauce evenly over cake layer. Spread ice cream mixture over chocolate sauce. Cover and freeze for 4 hours, or until firm. Drizzle cake with chocolate sauce and caramel sauce, if desired. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped Snickers bars.
