Fruit Pizza

Image
By
1 (18-ounce) package refrigerated cookie dough
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or other flavoring (almond,
orange, or lemon)
Fresh blueberries, banana slices, mandarin oranges
sections, seedless grapes, strawberry halves, kiwi-
fruit )or any other fruit)
1/2 cup orange, peach or apricot preserves
1 Tablespoon water

Preheat oven to 370 degrees F. Line an ungreased 14-inch pizza pan with cookie dough cut in 1/8-inch slices, overlapping slightly. Bake 12 minutes or until light brown; remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract or other flavoring; spread over cookie crust. Arrange fruit over cream cheese layer in any design you want ( use your imagination).

In a small saucepan over very low heat, make a glaze by heating preserves and water. Brush glaze over fruit, making sure to cover the fruit that will turn dark. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Note: This does not keep well, so plan on using it up. You may also use your own sugar cookie recipe in place of the refrigerated dough.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.

Muddy Buddies

By
9 c Chex cereal 1 c semi-sweet choco chips 1/2 c creamy peanut butter 1/4 c (1/2 stick) butter or margarine 1 tsp vanilla 1-1/2 c powdered sugar Place cereal in large bowl. Place chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in high for 1-1/2 minutes or until mixture is smooth when stirred. Stir in vanilla. Pour chocolate mixture over cereal, stirring until all pieces are evenly coated. Pour mixture into large plastic bag with powdered sugar; shake until all pieces are coated. Spread on waxed paper to cool. Store in airtight container in refrigerator. Makes about 9 cups. Instead of putting this all into a plastic bag like it asks, I have a big "that's a bowl" from tupperware that I put everything into. I put on the lid and shake it. I don't spread it on waxed paper to cool, I just make sure there is enough powdered sugar to cover all the pieces. Then you can transfer it to a clean container for serving.
