Cookies!
Remember when I posted this recipe? Well tonight I tried it out and I also made an adventurous batch by changing up the recipe a bit.
Start to finish, two batches took me 1 hour and 45 mintues, but the last 45 minutes was only putting them in and taking them out of the oven. Honestly, this is one of THE easiest recipes to make and they’re delicious :) Each batch made around 46 cookies.
My changed recipe:
Reese’s, White Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 cup creme reese baking chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Directions:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, butter, extract, food color and egg until soft dough forms. Stir in creme de menthe baking chips and chocolate chunks.
- Using small cookie scoop or teaspoon, drop dough 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cool 3 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Serve warm or cool completely. Store tightly covered at room temperature.
I loved both batches of cookies, but they are very different. I loved the mint chocolate chip because they are different and a pretty strong flavor, but I chocolate and peanut butter is my all time favorite combo! If you try the recipe out let me know what you think!

Jelly Bean Bark
I recently made some jelly bean bark (and it is delicious and so so so cute) BUT I lost the recipe. I was browsing the internet for another when I stumbled upon this blog! Mine is slightly different but I love their pictures. So enjoy! Happy Easter!
(Side note: I used Starbucks Jelly Beans because they are delicious and I preferred the bolder coloring)
I have a riddle for you… What do you get when you mix this {white chocolate}
with this? {jelly beans}
You give up?I’ll give you a hint, it’s really yummy treat for Easter! Friends, let me introduce you to Jelly Bean Bark…
Yum! Here is how you make it.
You’ll need a 24-oz bag of Nestle Premier White Morsels {this is the large size bag} and a 10 to 14 oz bag of jelly beans.
Melt your morsels on the stove using a double-boiler or in the microwave on 70% power. Be careful to stir frequently so that you do not burn the chocolate!! If you are using the microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.
While your chocolate is melting, line a cookie sheet with wax paper.
Lay half of the jelly beans on the pan.
Pour the melted chocolate over the jelly beans and use a rubber spatula to spread it across the pan creating an even layer.
Place the remaining jelly beans on top of the melted chocolate. Allow to cool at room temperature for several hours or put in the refrigerator to cool for one hour.
Peel away wax paper and break into 2 to 3-inch pieces. Enjoy!
