Banana-Blueberry Dream Pie
By · Leave a Comment
Recipe #5 for Forster-Bazzano Week, and by far, my favorite. This was also my Grandma’s recipe, and it’s my mom’s favorite pie. Grandma (her mother-in-law) made it for her every year for her birthday.
- 1 container Cool Whip (4.5 oz)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 pkg cream cheese (8 oz package) @ room temperature
- 3 bananas, medium
- 1/2 can blueberry pie filling (1 lb can)
- 1 baked pie shell
Mix together in a bowl whipped topping, cream cheese and sugar. Beat at medium speed until smooth and creamy. Set aside. Next, slice 1 1/2 bananas and arrange in the bottom of the pie shell. Spread half of the blueberry pie filling over sliced bananas, then spread half of the whipped topping over the filling. Repeat the layers again, ending with the whipped topping. Chill for about one hour before cutting.

La Vista Hyatt Regency’s Chocolate Rum Balls
By · Leave a Comment
3 9-inch layers cooked German chocolate cakes without frosting
1/2 cup fudge sauce (Smuckers Chocolate Fudge Sauce will do)
3/4 cup 151-proof rum
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
24 ounces semisweet dark chocolate
Chocolate sprinkles to garnish
Crumble the cake layers into a large mixing bowl. Add fudge sauce, rum, and chopped nuts. Mix into a paste. Roll into small balls (about the size of a golf ball) and freeze until hard. Melt dark chocolate over very low heat in a double boiler. Quickly dip a ball into the melted chocolate then immediately dip the ball into the chocolate sprinkles. Makes about 50 chocolate rum balls.
My notes: I used a German chocolate cake mix, which made one 9×13 cake. I omitted the nuts this time and used green sugar to sprinkle on top instead of rolling in chocolate sprinkles.

Andes Bark
By · Leave a Comment
2 boxes Baker’s white chocolate baking squares
1 bag Andes mint baking chips
Break apart the Baker’s white chocolate baking squares and put in a microwavable glass bowl. Microwave for 1 1/2-2 minutes, until melted, stirring halfway through.
Once the chocolate is melted, place a sheet of wax paper on a cookie sheet and spread the melted white chocolate on the wax paper. Allow to cool slightly, but not enough to start hardening.
Sprinkle with the Andes mint baking chips (as many as you want) and place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for 4 hours until completely hardened.
Remove from the wax paper and break apart into bite-sized pieces. Enjoy!
