Easy Strawberry Cheesecake

Strawberry cheesecake is my 2nd favorite dessert, next to vanilla white cake with strawberries in the middle covered in whipped cream topping. YUM! I wanted to make this easier for myself being I am very busy, going non stop every single day with a 5 year old, 17 year old and 18 year old children. I made this dessert to bring to a family dinner at my brother in laws home. This dessert was gone before I could blink, lol. I literally wanted a second piece but it was gone. So, I made a second one for our family after the party. You Will Need: 1 tub Cheesecake Filling 12 Graham Crackers Crushed 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Stick Butter, melted  1 lb Strawberries, cut 1/2 Cup Sugar 2 tbsp Lemon Juice

Christmas Crockpot Candy

Making candy in my crockpot is a long time Christmas favorite. Kailee and I absolutely love getting into the kitchen and making our own candy with small amounts of ingredients.  The hardest item to ever find is the white almond bark, so typically I have to look at like 5 stores before I find one. Wal-Mart will typically keep this on hand (it is however not called white almond bark it is called vanilla coating chocolate). All our church friends and family love when we gift them these; they always ask for more! It is a very popular candy. We can never make enough for the church bake sales either; as it goes so fast. 
You Will Need:
1 Bag Peanut Butter Chips
2 Cups Chocolate Chips (I use milk chocolate)
1 Container Peanuts 
1 pkg Melting Chocolate (white)
Peanuts into crockpot first then layer the rest of the ingredients. You can top these with festive sprinkles, but I did not have any organic/natural dyed ones at this time. 
Place paper towel under the lid of the crockpot to keep condensation from dripping into the chocolate.
