I know the box says bars but my mom made a pie with it. She said it was very easy to do and the instructions were easy to follow. This did set up in an hour. We tried little pieces and they tasted so lite and fluffy. I like fluffy and not thick cheesecakes anyways. The crust was to die for. I give this 2 thumbs up. The No-Bake Key Lime cheesecake bars are great to keep on hand when you need a quick dessert fix.

Here's a picture of the piece I was eating and you can see my cat in the right corner waiting for a bite lol.

Dreyer’s/Edy’s Slow Churned Shakes and Fruit Smoothies Review

The latest frozen novelties, Dreyer’s/Edy’s Slow Churned® Shakes and Fruit Smoothies, are hitting the freezer aisle across the country this summer, sure to shake up the snack routine of ice cream and smoothie lovers. Enjoy homemade milkshakes and smoothies with no mess, no blender, no scooping, no clean-up!

It's super easy to create creamy parlor-style shakes with Dreyer’s/Edy’s Slow Churned Shakes. Each single serve shake cup (10 oz) is filled with Dreyer’s/Edy’s Slow Churned frozen shake mix. Simply remove the lid, add milk, stir, and a milkshake will be ready to serve in 30 seconds. Better yet, the Slow Churned shakes contain only half the fat and one-third fewer calories than regular shakes. Dreyer’s/Edy’s Slow Churned® Shakes are available in four popular flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, and Cookies 'n Cream.

Made with real fruit, fruit juice and frozen yogurt, the new Dreyer’s/Edy’s Fruit Smoothies are a good source of calcium and Vitamin D, an excellent source of Vitamin C and contain live and active cultures. They are fat-free when made with fat-free milk. Follow the same simple steps: remove lid, add milk, and stir, and you will have a delicious fruit drink to start the day or pick you up between meals. Dreyer’s/Edy’s Fruit Smoothies come in four yummy flavors: Strawberry Banana, Mixed Berry, Tropical (Pineapple, Mango, Passion Fruit), and Sunrise Blend (Peach, Orange, Banana).

I was provided with several free coupons to try out the Dreyer’s Slow Churned® Shakes and Fruit Smoothies. We found the new products in the Kroger store we frequent for grocery shopping. My son and I picked the Chocolate and Cookies 'n Cream  flavored Shakes and Strawberry Banana and Mixed Berry flavored Fruit Smoothies. The Cookies 'n Cream Slow Churned Shake is our favorite. It's so rich, creamy, and tasty! I love how fast and easy it is to prepare a sweet treat that cools us down, providing a heavenly escape from the heat outside. You can customize the thickness of your drink to your liking by changing the amount of milk to add in. I can feel good about serving the Dreyer's shakes and smoothies to my child because they are low in fat and nutritious. The single serve cups are great for portion control. I did find the cups for shakes a bit too small compared to the mix inside. It was hard to thoroughly stirring up the contents without any spills. This was not an issue for the smoothies though.

Dreyer’s Slow Churned® Shakes and Fruit Smoothies are the first single-serve, drinkable snack treat offered by Dreyer’s/Edy’s. They are available nationwide with a suggested retail price of $1.79 (Our Kroger has them at $5 for 3). For additional product information and to find out where you can buy them, please visit www.icecream.com.

Let's Play Giveaway #11: 5-in-1 Tasty Baker

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED~~
Pop Art Toaster is one of the few companies that are dedicated to making dessert cooking FUN! Their signature toasters give life to the toasted. These cute images would make the pickiest eater long for her breakfast.

Pop Art Toaster has kindly asked me to review their popular product: 5-in-1 Tasty Baker! How exciting! It's a highly versatile baker. You can bake muffins, bread, cake, pancakes/waffles and brownies in the one compact unit. It can also be used to cook eggs. The non-stick baking plate includes seven kid friendly molds: kitty cat, doggie, choo choo train, blocks, heart, smiley face and birthday cake. It also comes with a batter scoop and cleaning brush!


I love that the tasty baker is easy to operate, with a 5-level adjustable thermostat control and "power on" and "ready to bake" indicators. Simply preheat, spread the batter into the molds, close the lid, wait for a few minutes, and you'll get these fun-shaped morsels.


These coconut-flavored waffles (using Tropical Traditions coconut flour) were fluffy and delicious. I made like 50 of them, but was only able to save these few for a picture. My son's favorite shapes are hearts and smiley faces. You may find more fancy, creative recipes on the Pop Art Toaster website.


Another new product that I really covet from their site is the Creative Coloring Kit. The markers use FDA-approved edible colors. You can buy these adorable cooking gear from online retailers like Amazon.com or local stores listed here.
