Ingredients

1 cup Peanut butter, smooth style, with salt
4 Bananas, raw
8 (1 ounce) squares Bakers Choc Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar
1 tablespoon Shortening
⅓ cup toffee baking bits - Hershey Skor Baking Bits

Directions

Step 1 Cover a baking sheet with waxed paper.
Step 2 Spoon a thin layer of peanut butter on top of each banana slice. Insert a toothpick through the peanut butter layer into the banana. Place banana bites onto the prepared baking sheet; freeze for 30 minutes to overnight.
Step 3 Melt chocolate and shortening in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching.
Step 4 Cover another baking sheet with waxed paper.
Step 5 Remove 2 to 4 banana bites from the freezer at a time; coat each bite with chocolate mixture. Place coated banana bites on the second baking sheet; sprinkle each with toffee bits. Repeat until all the bites are coated. Return banana bites to freezer until set, at least 1 hour. Allow bites to sit in room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.

Ingredients

3 boxes of Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers

3 tbsp sugar, or to taste
1 tsp vanilla extract

Top with whipped cream.
Repeat for another 10-11 layers.
Finish with whipped cream on top, then sprinkle with leftover broken cookies. There are always broken cookies.
Wrap lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight until the next evening.
Remove and slice carefully to serve!

Independence Day Flag Cake

INGREDIENTS:

1 box White Cake Mix
16 ounces Cool Whip
1 pint blueberries
2 pounds strawberries

DIRECTIONS:

Bake the white cake mix according to the box directions in a 9×13 baking pan then cool on a wire rack.
Frost with a tub of cool whip then place back into the freezer for at least one hour.
Decorate with blueberries and strawberries as shown in the photograph, with the blueberries making the stars and the strawberries making the stripes.

Keep the strawberries sliced in half so they release less liquid this way, which will keep the top of the cake looking beautiful longer. If you slice the strawberries thinly, be sure to dry the slices very, very well with a paper towel and serve the cake immediately after decorating.

You can also make this cake a layer cake if you would like. To do this line your baking pan with parchment paper to easily remove the cake from the pan and carefully remove the completely cooled cake from the baking pan.

Slice horizontally through the middle of the cake and add the bottom layer back into the pan.

Fill with buttercream frosting (adding fresh berries to the middle here would be delicious too) and top with the top layer of the cake before frosting and decorating.

Be sure not to add too thick of a layer of frosting in the middle as you won’t have space in the baking pan for the rest of the decorations.
