Ambrosia Dessert Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 can mandarin oranges (11 ounces)
• 1 cup cubed pineapple (canned pineapple may be used)
• 3 bananas, sliced
• 3 cups miniature marshmallows
• 1 cup pecan pieces
• 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup pitted cherries (maraschino cherries for those who like it really sweet!)

In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients thoroughly. Chill for at least an hour or overnight.

Butter Caramels Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup nuts, finely chopped
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 cups half and half

Butter an 8-inch square pan. Spread the nuts in the bottom of the pan and set aside.

In a heavy saucepan, mix the sugar, corn syrup, butter, and 1 cup of the half and half.

Bring ingredients to a boil and stir constantly. Once boiling, add the rest of the half and half and stir.

Add a candy thermometer and cook over medium heat. Bring the mixture to the "firm ball" stage (244 - 248 degrees). Don't exceed this temperature.

Immediately spread the mixture over the nuts in the pan. Allow to cool.

Cut into 1 inch squares.

German Chocolate Pie

• 3 cups sugar
• 7 Tablespoons cocoa
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 can evaporated milk (12 oz)
• 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 1 stick of butter, melted
• 2 cups coconut flakes
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 2 9" pie crusts

Combine the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl. Add the evaporated milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla. Mix with an electric mixer and stir in the pecans and coconut.

Divide the batter equally between the two pie crusts and bake in the oven for 40 minutes.

The center of the pie will set when it has cooled in the refrigerator.

Eat one pie and give the other to your neighbor!
