Chocolate dipped pineapple





Slice a whole fresh pineapple in round slices and then cut each slice into 6 or 8 pie shape pieces.


Melt Hersheys special dark chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave (works best in a double boiler)


Holding the pineapple by the rind dip in chocolate and place on waxed paper to firm up. You can sprinkle Heath bits on the top.





This is absolutely fantastic if you like pineapple. Most people will ask what it is. Just tell them to try a piece. I brought 2 containers of it to work for a party and at first no one would try it. After I talked a couple of people into trying it, it disappeared.
There is always room for Jell-O and you can do it with or with out the fruit. My aunt makes a 2 color mold -just pour red jello into a bunt pan - let set 2 hours then top with green jello- leave over night soak a minute in hot water and turn onto a plate serve with cool whip and you have a cheap-festive-easy hit!


Good Luck!
Strawberries ';Briond';





Strawberries, simple Syrup, Grand Marnier !!!


If you can get it bring Sourcream Sorbet





Chilled of Course
You could make trifle. All you need is some plain cake (either cake you made yourself or a pre-bought pound cake), berries, jello, custard (you can buy this premade or in powder form that you add milk to - in the US it's called 'Bird's English Dessert Mix'), whipped cream and shaved chocolate.





Get a bowl and layer pieces of pound cake at the bottom. Place some berries over that, then pour over cooled custard. Then chopped up jello, another layer of cake and custard and jello, then whipped cream, berries and chocolate shaving to decorate.





Traditional English trifle recipes soak the cake in alcohol, but this might not be good to take to work since not everyone might want it?
Ritz crackers, put peanut butter in between two to make a little sandwich. Dunk in melted chocolate and put on wax paper in freezer. These things will disappear before your very eyes. We named these cookies ';Dear Sweet Hazels'; after my step mom who always had a special way with deserts. At first I didn't think they sounded so great, but once I tried one, I was hooked!
Dump Cake - It is sooooo easy and soooo good
