Bing Cherry Pie!

Today I'm sharing what I thought was a recipe that had been in the family for 100's of years, then my daughter pointed out it called for Cool Whip. After a bit of research, I found that Cool Whip was invented in 1967, so it looks like the recipe isn't 100 years old after all.  It is a recipe from my grandmother who is now 104, still living on her own.

 

As a child, when this dessert was served, I wouldn't eat it.  Now I have to make mini pies, so I don't eat the whole pie.  It's amazing what happens if you try a bite.

Chocolate Cherry Scones

Since I made the chocolate cherry caramel apples last week, I keep thinking of chocolate and cherry and all the other creations that could be made.  So before National Cherry month is over I am going to share one more cherry recipe.  (I'm pretty sure every month is National Chocolate month - so this recipe worked out perfectly.)

Chocolate Cherry Caramel Apples!

Happy Valentine's Day my party people!  Today I'm joining SHERYL @ LADY BEHIND THE CURTAIN  for a dessert challenge.  While I'm not always up for a challenge, I'm always up for dessert.  The two ingredient challenge for today's dessert was chocolate and cherry.  She had me at chocolate. 

 

The hardest part of this challenge was coming up with something that you haven't seen before.  And  THAT my friends was a challenge.  So after changing my mind over and over again, I decided to make Chocolate Cherry Caramel Apples.

National Cherry Month!

I was beyond thrilled to find out that February is National Cherry Month.  Not only because I LOVE cherries, but because I did a post last year with some fun cherry treats.  I have had the Flu this week and feeling lousy, so my Valentine posts have suffered too.  Just in case you may have missed the cherries the first time around, here's your chance to view them again!

Cheery Cherries!
