You know me, the queen of easy recipes. The Cranberry Sierra Mist has made its grand entrance back into stores for the Holiday season. This is one drink that I so love and so excited every time it makes its way back onto grocery store shelves.

Since it was so cold this weekend, I thought I would do a little combination from a cake mix I had in the pantry and the Cranberry Sierra Mist. The final product equals a delicious Christmas Coconut Supreme Cake.

How do you make this holiday treat?

You will need:

1 box of Coconut Supreme
12 ounces of Diet Cranberry Sierra Mist
1 container of fat free whip cream

Step 1:

Pour the cake mix into a mixing bowl

Step 2.

Measure 12 ounces of Cranberry Sierra Mist

Pour the soda into the mixing bowl

Step 3:

Stir well

Step 4:

Pour into a cake pan

Step 5:

Bake according to directions on back of cake mix

Step 6:

Spread the whip cream all over the cake

Step 7:

Enjoy

The cake really is that easy and oh so delicious. According to Weight Watchers new Points Plus program, this cake is 5 points per serving. That is really not that bad for a dessert 😉

Last week I cooked for a large crowd at our annual Thanksgiving Dinner. I had bought extra boxes of corn flakes to use in a couple dishes and for the girls to eat for breakfast. Well, I came back home with two boxes of corn flakes. Since I am not a fan of just plain corn flakes, I knew we where going to have to do something with these leftover corn flakes. Collective Bias asked me if I would like to contribute to their Dummies Guide to Leftovers, and I was all over that as I can be queen of leftover ideas!

Since we are all over turkey and all the fixings at the moment… I thought I would do some type of dessert with the corn flakes. It is that time of year for the holiday baking you know, so I decided to make hay stacks! I only needed to add a couple ingredients so we were off the the new Wal-Mart Supercenter that is just around the corner from my house. I was able to get ConAgra products of Reddi Whip (twist to our hay stacks recipe), Pam, and Peter Pan Peanut Butter for very low prices.

Follow along on my Whrrl Journey and see what else I found on my shopping trip:

More check-ins at Walmart Supercenter #3889

Here is the recipe written:

1 cup of peanut butter
1 bag of butterscotch morsels
6 cups Corn Flakes (approximately)

Combine the peanut butter and morsels into a large pot on the stove.
Heat on medium heat. Stir frequently.
Once melted remove from the burner and pour in corn flakes.
Mix the corn flakes really good into the melted mixture.

Then you will drop by the spoonfuls onto a wax sheet of paper.

Let sit for hour to hour half. Enjoy with Reddi Whip (optional)

It is such an easy recipe but one that everyone will definitely enjoy 🙂
