Enjoy.

A twist on the traditional s’more recipe. Think outside your classic ingredients with this Ritz Nutella S’mores using marshmallow fluff on Frugal Coupon Living. Take a look below on how we went one step further with this quick and easy dessert.

Ritz Nutella S’mores

Pin to Pinterest

You probably know from all the  S’more Recipes on our blog, we are a bit obsessed with the rich taste of marshmallow, chocolate and a little crunch. You might also remember from our  S’mores Campfire Cones that we like to take a classic recipe and twist it up! Anyone else? Of course, a little twist to a s’more is trading your traditional chocolate for Nutella. But why not go one step further and twist of the traditional cooking your treat is placed on. This Nutella flavored s’more is placed on top of a Ritz cracker instead of your well-known graham cracker.  If you decide to go a step further than we did, buy some  melting chocolate chips and tip your finished product in the rich flavor of milk or even dark chocolate. Place on a cookie tray and cool in the refrigerator. Happy eating!

Ingredients:


Directions:

  1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Lay 24 Ritz crackers on the lined cookie sheet and generously spread Nutella on 12 of them.
  3. Spread a heaping Tablespoon of marshmallow creme on the remaining crackers.
  4. Place the Nutella and marshmallow creme crackers together, like a sandwich.
  5. Enjoy and Share!

Yield: 12 S’mores

Optional: Consider dipping the cracker sandwich in melted chocolate and let cool!

If you read the blog, you know our love of tacos. We love tacos so much, we had to start twisting up recipes to not eat the “same old” recipe all the time. This taco recipe is fun. With a simple twist of lime and a touch of roasted corn, it’s delicious and and an often shared recipe.

Be sure to take a look at our 52 Week of Taco Tuesday.

  2. Add the rice reduce to a simmer with the lid closed.
  3. Let it simmer until all the water is gone or about 15 minutes.

  5. Mince the garlic, and add it to a nonstick skillet with vegetable oil on medium-high heat.
  6. Add corn; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until corn starts to brown, stirring occasionally (we made the mistake of not roasting until the brown edging appeared.)
  7. Stir in chili powder, salt and pepper to the corn.
  8. Evenly mix corn and rice together in a bowl.
  9. Slice the avocado, and tomato. Set aside.
  10. Warm the black beans in the microwave.

Bunco Recipe Idea – Dice Cookies

Pin to Pinterest

Raise your hand if your bunco night is less about the dice and more about the food and time spent with friends? I don’t know about you, but when bunco night comes around and it’s my time to host, I am often struggling for the best recipe idea. These dice cookies can be used with a girls’ bunco night or have fun making them with the kids to celebrate a family game night!

Bunco: (also Bunko or Bonko) is a game played in teams with three dice. The game is played with two or more people often in teams of two. An ideal game has three tables of four people (12 people total), with two people at each table on a team for a total of six teams. The goal of the game is to get the Bunco (three matching dice) for a total of 21 points. The team with the most points wins.

What You Need:

Ingredients:


Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325° and line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Use a hand mixer to beat your butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in your vanilla and almond extract and egg.
  4. Then mix your flour in and continue to mix until your ingredients start sticking together.
  5. Roll your dough out onto a floured piece of parchment paper and use your square cookie cutters to cut out your dice shapes and place onto your lined baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes (depending on how thick your dough squares are) and let cool.
  7. Fill one decorating bag with your black icing and one with your vanilla frosting and cut the tips off.
  8. Frost a white outline on each square, fill in, and smooth your frosting out.
  9. Now draw small circles onto the white squares for the dice numbers.
