Desserts

It's always nice to end a meal with desserts. Please share your favorite recipes, and here are some of mine!

Dump Cake (thanks to my Grandma Billie):
1 (16 oz) can crushed pineapple
1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
1 box yellow cake mix
1 stick butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Spray a 9x13 inch pan with Pam. Dump pineappe, then cherry pie filling over pineapple. Spread cake mix over pie filling. Cut butter in slices and place over top. Add pecans. Bake 40 minutes at 350 degrees.

Indoor S'mores:
8 cups Golden Grahams cereal
6 cups miniature marshmallows
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup light corn syrup
5 tbsp. margarine
1 tsp. vanilla

Measure cereal into large bowl. Butter a 9x13 inch pan. Microwave 5 cups marshmallows, chocolate chips, corn syrup, and margarine uncovered in a large bowl on High 2 to 3 1/2 minutes, stirring after every minute, until melted and smooth when stirred. Stir in vanilla. Pour over cereal in bowl and quickly toss until completely coated. Stir in 1 cup marshamallows. Press mixture evenly in pan. I usually leave it out for an hour or so before cutting into squares.

Spread cream cheese filling on top of the dough. Roll out 2nd can of rolls on top of the filling. Again, press the seams together so there are no gaps. Pour the melted butter over the flattened rolls and sprinkle remaining 1/2 cups of sugar and cinnamon over the top. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. You can serve it warm (tastes best) or cool.
