Jello Pudding Salad

JELLO PUDDING SALAD

This jello pudding recipe, is quick, easy & delicious. The thing I like about this recipe, is you can use any flavor of jello & use any fruit you like. I've used raspberry jello with frozen raspberries & huckleberries in this picture. It's really good with orange jello, pineapple chunks & mandarin oranges as well. I also like to sprinkle the top with nuts, before serving. Use your imagination!

YOU WILL NEED:

1 Small package of Raspberry jello

1 Small pkg. vanilla pudding (not instant)

2 1/2 c. water

9 ounce Cool Whip

2 cups frozen raspberries, optional

1 cup huckleberries, optional

(Use any flavor jello & fruit you like)

Bring to boil jello, pudding, and water. Cool completely, then fold in Cool Whip. Add fruit, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Blondies

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 4 oz unsalted butter melted and cooled to room temperature
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
• 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks

Topping:

• 1 cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips
• 1 tsp butter

Preheat over to 350. Grease and flour a 8x8 square pan (or line with parchment paper…this stuff works marvelous wonders).

Combine flour and salt; set aside. Stir together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth; beat in egg and vanilla extract until well blended. Slowly beat in the flour mixture until blended, then stir in the coconut and chocolate chips. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth even with a rubber spatula. Bake for 25-30min, or until set in the center but still soft. Do no over bake. Let the bars cool slightly before drizzling with chocolate, then cool completely before cutting into squares.

For the topping combine the chocolate and butter in a small bowl and microwave in 30second intervals until melted and smooth. Using a spoon drizzle over the bars.
