Posted in DESSERTS, Sweet and Easy by Katherine

This was an experiment on the BBQ that was a hit!

We created a make shift double boiler by using a 8×8 aluminum tin for the base and an aluminum pie tray to place on the top.

Pick your Favourite chocolate bar and break into squares, about 2 cups, place on bottom of pie tray
Place 1 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows among the chocolate
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of orange and brown Smarties

Fill the 8×8 tin with water halfway – place on BBQ
Place chocolate, marshmallow pie tray on top

We heated at 250 degrees for 12 minutes…until melted, keep checking until desired consistency

Create a tray with your favourite dipping food. We used apples, graham wafers and bananas.

Cherry Amaretto Ice Cream ~ Annie's Cooking Lab

Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia ice cream has always been a favorite of mine, and I’ve been dying to try making it at home. As soon as I saw a bag of fresh cherries in the grocery this spring I grabbed them up and immediately started on a batch of this ice cream. Pitting all the cherries takes some time, but it’s worth it! The amaretto flavor comes through really well in the ice cream and pairs wonderfully with the fresh, sweet cherries.
