Cool Treats

Hi Reader,

As the temperatures rise here in Ohio, I thought it would be a great idea to share some delicious and cool treat recipes to help us all stay refreshed. Enjoy these recipes as you beat the heat!


This millionaire pie recipe with its rich, creamy texture and the added crunch of pecans, is a true winner as a no-bake recipe. The refreshing twist of pineapple makes it a refreshing favorite. And the best part? You can prep this pie in just 5 minutes!

"This recipe was amazing! I made this for a work lunch and everyone loved it! ... Delish!! PERFECT and light!!" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Hi Lynette. I’ve been looking for this recipe! My mother-in-law always made these for the holidays but used maraschino cherries instead of strawberries. These, I know my husband is going to love!" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Creamy, crunchy, and sweet. This Oreo pudding pie will be the star at the end of a delicious dinner. The thick vanilla pudding mixed with Cool Whip and crushed Oreo cookies is frozen into the perfect dessert treat. Make in 7 minutes, and freeze for 12 hours.

This old fashioned chocolate pie recipe brings a classic dessert to your table with a rich, creamy, and chocolatey twist. It’s a traditional pudding pie that’s perfectly sweet, making it a must-try for all chocolate lovers.

"Hi! Just made this. Yep, the freezer step works for getting the milk to thicken! ... Wonderful and light! Perfect for a super-hot mid-July day here in South Carolina." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This easy peanut butter pie is supremely creamy with a crunchy graham cracker crust for a sweet and rich pie. It’s a no-bake recipe that’s great for beginners too!


Favorite Comment This Week

"Never again will I cook the macaroni separately! Another pot to wash AND I always seemed to overcook it and by the time it was all together, the Mac would be in shreds! THANK YOU. Way better than Mom’s “goulash.”" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Sandy after making Skillet Macaroni and Beef

Have a great week! And Happy Father's Day to all the dads! 😀

Enjoy your time in the kitchen!
