Homemade treats taste great but sometimes we don’t have time to spend creating these delicious snacks. Here’s a couple of recipes that are not only tasty, but quick and simple also. Use them as gifts, to take to someone’s house or for a night at home.

Chocolate Dipped Apples
prep time: 10 minutes plus refrigeration

Need:
six wooden pop sticks
six small to medium apples, washed and well dried
seven ounces of dipping chocolate
Choice of coconut flakes, chopped peanuts or chopped up cookies.

Insert one pop stick into the stem end of an apple. Microwave the chocolate as directed on the package. Dip the bottom half of the apple into the chocolate, turning until evenly coated. Sprinkle on your choice of toping over the chocolate. Place on wax paper covered tray. Refrigerate for thirty minutes or until chocolate is firm.

Triple Layer Mud Pie
prep time: 15 minutes plus refrigeration

Need:
three squares of semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted
quarter cup of sweetened condensed milk
one cookie pie crust
half cup of chopped nuts (optional)
two cups of cold milk
two packages (four serving size each) of chocolate pudding and pie filling mix
one tub of whipped topping, thawed

Mix chocolate and condensed milk until well blended. Pour into cookie crust and sprinkle with nuts. Pour cold milk into a large bowl. Add dry pudding mixes. Beat with a wire whisk for two minutes or until well blended. The mixture will be thick. Spoon one and a half cups of the pudding mix onto the nuts in the pie crust. Add half of the whipped topping to the remaining pudding and stir with the whisk until well blended. Spread it over the pudding layer in the pie crust. Top with the remaining whipped topping. Refrigerate for three hours. Serves ten.
