This Thursday was our first book club with a group of friends.
We went through "The Help"
Oh, I loved that book!
I had a hard time getting into it at first,
but once I did- it was really good!
I would highly recommend it!
(We will rotate who host each week)
So, of course I felt it necessary to do snacks based off the book.
Fried Chicken Nuggets
Jello with floating fruit
(I did not know a jello mold would not just pop right out... so this ended up a bowl of jello instead of a fancy jello mold...)
Chicken Salad
Bottled Root Beer (could NOT find bottled cokes at my Kroger!)
Sweet Tea
Chocolate Pie (if you have read the book or seen the movie, you will know why this is so funny! We giggled the entire time we ate the pie)
& individual Peach Cobblers.
The idea for the Peach Cobblers sprung from these awesome dishes that my family gave me in my wedding that I have yet to use. Individual serving dishes that are oven, microwave and dishwasher (!!!) safe.
So, I thought this was a perfect time to use them!
This will be perfect for when we are wanting a quick dessert.
Or if we have a celebration.
Or, well, just because.
And the best part is-- you can just make however many you want.
Won't be left with an entire dessert left begging for you to eat it.
Now, you will see lot of healthy recipes that I post on here.
This is not one of them.
So, if you want a healthy version, stop reading now.
Because this is not it.
I justify it because I will only have one piece.
I based this off of a peach dump cake.
This is pretty much mini dump cakes.
But peach cobblers sounds so much nicer (and it pretty much is the same thing, only easier)
You just place the peaches with some syrup into the dishes. For my dishes, it was about 3-4 peaches each. I put enough syrup to have a thin layer at the bottom.
Is that a word? ehhh.
Now, you're gonna sprinkle some yellow cake mix over top of the peaches. Just enough to cover them.
You wanna put a little bit of butter on each one. I just cut thin slices and put two, divided up, on each one.
Sprinkle some brown sugar on top.
Yummmmmmmmm
Now, top it with some nuts. You can put however many or little you want. This is up to you.
Now pop those suckers in the oven at 350 degrees for about 40-50 minutes.
Ohhhh-weeeee, sooo good!
This is after it had cooled.
We put a scoop of vanilla icecream on top, & viola!
This was so tasty, and there are so many versions of "dump cakes" that this could be done with!
Now, we just need a reason to celebrate...
AKA, reason for me to make another round...
Individual Peach Cobblers (dump cake style)
- Large can of peaches in light syrup
- Box of yellow cake mix
- Stick of butter
- Brown sugar
- Chopped nuts (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place peaches with some syrup in each dish. You want to syrup to be about 1/4"-1/8" deep. Enough to cover the bottoms of the peaches and dish.
- Sprinkle some cake batter over each one. A thin layer to cover the peaches.
- Slice thin slices of butter, divide in half, and place them evenly over peaches. (I used two thin slices for each dish)
- Sprinkle lightly with brown sugar.
- Sprinkle with nuts.
- Cook for about 40-50 minutes, until a nice golden brown color.
- Enjoy!
