I need some dessert and drink recipe ideas!

justbeingme93

I am leaving for a long weekend "Up North" on Wednesday. There will be six people going, including my BF and I. I need some new recipes for desserts. I am not a pro in the kitchen, so some easy recipes would be great! Also, I just turned 21, so I would LOVE some mixed drink recipes.

I'm not a good dessert maker but I am a good drinker so I'll recommend sweet tea vodka and lemonade. I prefer Firefly brand sweet tea vodka but Jeremiah Weed is pretty good too and I usually use Snapple lemonade because it's easy.

I've made these for friends a few times. They're easy and delicious and you can top with anything (fresh fruit, fruit preserves, chocolate chips, chocolate sauce, caramel, etc.)

I made this a couple months ago and it was super easy. The "frosting" was a bit runny though...so I don't know how it would travel. http://www.laurenslatest.com/lemon-raspberry-angel-cake/

If you do need something that can travel, this is one of my favorite recipes and it's super easy for a non-baker like me! http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/lemon-yogurt-cake-recipe.html

Can you tell I like Lemon?

This looks super simple to make once you get to your destination and most ingredients would easily pack in the car. Plus, it's Chocolate.....mmmm....chocolate! http://doitandhow.com/2013/11/03/crock-pot-chocolate-lava-cake/

Forgot the drinks! This "beer" goes GREAT with chocolate desserts if you're looking for a pairing. Would probably go well with the lemon cakes I posted too. I put beer in quotes because technically it is a beer, but it's very sweet.

I'm a big fan of margaritas and appletinis. I'm sure you can find recipes for those all over the interwebs...

ETA: The beer is raspberry flavored. Forgot to mention that...but you can see the raspberries on the label, so that might have been a clue!

I made this recipe this past weekend and it was a huge hit. Couple of tips, leave the cream cheese and butter out the morning of to make it easier to mix: oreo trifle

Everyone LOVES these pudding shots: CLICKY it's dessert and drinks in one!

I second @swazzle's idea of sweet tea vodka and lemonade. It's SO GOOD.

@Swazzle,

I am with you on being a better drinker than baker. I think my plan will be to get everyone drunk with whatever drink I make. Then, I will give them my dessert, and they will think it is the best dessert they have ever had. MWAHAHAA. Do you like my master plan?

I am a woman. Therefore, I love chocolate. That chocolate lava recipe looks AMAZING, and I think I will have to look into that beer.

Theses were a hit at the last potluck I went too :-)

I've already mentioned how slutty brownies can be. . . These are the brownies that gave them the name.

@swazzle I haven't had sweet tea vodka and lemonaide in forever... now I know what to drink tonight :-)

@allusive007 I love that beer too.

I posted this last week. I made it once for friends and once more for coworkers everyone loved it.  Once co-worker said it almost taste like a devil dog

I made this snickers dip back on memorial day weekend and it was AMAZING! It's super easy and yummy and you can eat it with apples or Graham Crackers.

@southernpeach89

That looks like a great treat for during the day! I wouldn't mind having some of that after a long day on the lake.

These things are AMAZING (I usually use white chocolate instead of semi-sweet) and 3 ingredients:

@Justbeingme93 - If you do make the lava cake I'd love to know how it turns out! I just pinned it last week and haven't had a good reason to make it yet.

I've wanted to make these but haven't as of yet, but...the name says it all.  If you like rice krispies, peanut butter cups, and brownies, these sound better than any hardcore drug out there...

Better than Crack Brownies
