This DELICIOUS recipe comes from Sarah at A Thrifty Mom!

Thanks, Sarah

When I was little I was addicted to sugar…but now that I am an adult I am more excited about a good salad, than dessert. But this recipe is one of those that still makes me want to eat the whole pan, I LOVE them!

035

Start out by smashing one package of graham crackers ( not the whole box just one of the clear packages inside)

020

Once you get the crackers all smashed up, put in the bottom of a 9X13 pan

pour one stick of melted butter on top

021

Take a fork and make sure the cracker crumbs are well coated with butter

022

Then press down in a flat even layer in the bottom of the pan.

Place in an oven at 350 degrees for 12 min

this will create a crust

031

While still hot out of the oven pour one can of sweet and condensed milk ( not evaporated)

Pour in a thin even layer over the whole crust

033

Top with what ever you like, I use about 1/2 a cup of the following

  • chocolate chips
  • peanut butter chips
  • nuts or ( i use sunflower seeds, my friend who had a daughter allergic to nuts made it this way and I LOVE it so, I have never switched back)
  • coconut
  • M&Ms candys

034

While still hot place back in a 350 degree oven and bake for another 25-35 mins till edges are golden brown. Let cool at least 30 mins…..and enjoy

036

This is what Matt and I did to the pan in ONE night……I am telling you this is one of my favorites! Hope you enjoy them too.

Well the season is coming for some punch and light and fruity drinks. If you took advantage of the Publix sale this week you got Crystal Light for only $.67 (regularly priced almost $2.) Here is a light, summer recipe you could make to create a fruity punch.

Ingredients:
1 sm. c. Crystal Light fruit punch (4 to a can)
2 (2 liter) bottles ginger ale
1/2 gallon raspberry sherbet

Directions:
Mix in a punch bowl the Crystal Light and ginger ale. Keep chilled in refrigerator. When ready to serve, spoon the raspberry sherbet to cover. For lower calorie drink, use diet ginger ale.

This recipe is taken from Cooks.com Here. Whenever, I have extra “ingredients/stockpile” around the house I visit this site to see what I can create. Just by typing a couple of ingredients, they will show you some great recipes.
If you have a great budget friendly recipe to share, please send it my way. I would LOVE to share it with our readers.
