Faux Mud Pie

October 8, 2018 by mindeescookingobsession Leave a Comment

This faux mud pie is all about kids! It’s not glamorous, but it is messy fun complete with “worms”, “sticks” and “rocks” made of chocolate!

As I was trying to think up a fun “Halloween” themed recipe for this week something on TV caught my eye. My son was watching one of his favorite shows and the character on it was making mud pies. He said, “What if you could really eat a mud pie!” Ding, ding, ding….light bulb! So this weekend we whipped up a faux mud pie, complete with worms, sticks and rocks. It’s may not be pretty but it was a lot of fun to make and my kids had a blast eating “mud pie”!…

You can get them all ready to bake and refrigerate them and bake them later. That is totally a plus for me.

Ham and cheese roll ups are quick, easy and require minimal cooking time. Plus roasted red peppers give them an awesome flavor boost!

It has been so, so hot the past few days here. So hot that I actually avoid turning my oven on which is strange for me. Ham and cheese roll ups are a quick and easy dinner that require minimal oven time. These are one of my kids favorite dinners. What makes these extra special are the roasted red peppers. They are not hot or spicy. I love the way they boost the flavor. I also serve these with pizza sauce or marinara. So if you’re dying of heat this summer and avoiding a hot stove, give these a try!
