Strawberry Coconut Bars




1 Strawberry cake mix
1 stick of butter, softened
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup coconut

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix cake mix and butter. Press into a 9 x 13" baking dish. In a medium size bowl beat eggs, milk, and condensed milk until well mixed (about 1 minute). Pour over cake mix. Sprinkle with coconut. Bake 40-45 minutes or until center has set. Chill and slice into bars. Refrigerate.

You can make some tasty changes with this one. All you have to do is change the flavor of the cake mix. You can leave the coconut out if you want. You can scatter a layer of chocolate chips over your dish during the last 5 minutes of baking. You can also add nuts instead or along with the coconut.

Strawberry Tartlets

Strawberry Tartlets

1 can refrigerated crescent rolls
1/2 cup strawberry preserves
1 pkg (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 24 mini muffin cups with non-stick spray. Unroll crescents and separate into 4 rectangles. Press perforations to seal. Cut each rectangle into 6 squares. Gently press squares into muffin cups (will not cover inside of cup so don't press too much). Mix preserves and cream cheese until well blended. Spoon about 1 tsp. into each muffin cup. Bake 15-18 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool in pan 5 minutes before removing. Can garnish with strawberry slice, optional.

Changes - Use different preserves, add chopped nuts or divide cream cheese in half, use 1/2 for strawberry and other 1/2 for peach using 1/4 cup of preserves for each flavor. If you have several jars of preserves and/or jelly open divide cheese evenly and make different flavors in the same muffin pan.
