Summer is here and it is HOT! I love me some heat – I say the hotter the better… except in the kitchen. That’s why I dreamed up this no bake fudge stripe dessert –
it’s layered with cookies, pudding, cream cheese, whipped cream, and Rice Krispies cereal.

Ok, here’s my rant:

You go to a BBQ and there’s always delicious FOOD and delicious FRUIT, but the dessert is usually some weird pudding mixture with mystery ingredients thrown in. I have ZERO patience for mystery desserts. (I also can’t handle fruit and cookies in the same said MYSTERY dessert, but that’s a different story all together!) I like to know what is is my food/desserts and I like to SEE it.

After yet another BBQ of mystery dessert d’jour I was done. I decided that there was NO way this could continue. No more biting into a dessert and wondering if you’re about to eat a grape or marshmallow. YUCK. I wanted a dessert where I could see everything (thus, layers), with all things good (cookies, pudding, etc), and NO FRUIT because, I’m sorry, they don’t mix. I know – I’m weird.

So we hit up our local Target to find some inspiration and these Fudge Stripes drew me in – they are one of the few cookies that are delicious no matter what you do to them. I love eating them as s’mores and I love baking with them – so why not try NOT baking with them? Bring it.

(This picture cracks me up because little girlfriend is so focused on delicious cookies she can’t be bothered with the camera!)

I also wanted to try adding in some cocoa Rice Krispies cereal. I had never eaten this (as a cereal) and I had always wanted to try it – what a perfect excuse to live out your childhood dreams, right?

I might be biased, but I’m pretty sure I have the cutest helpers ever.

Guys, my BBQ life has forever been changed. I bit into this dessert and all the flavors are perfect together. It’s not too sweet. It’s no bake. It’s easy. It’s a real game changer.

Trust me when I say this is my new BBQ staple. I can’t say it enough, this Fudge Stripe dessert is the best option in my summer recipe arsenal. Best part? It looks so pretty that people thought I put a ton of work into it but you and I KNOW the secret. 😉

I might have gone a little crazy and added a toasted marshmallow to my piece of Fudge Stripe Dessert … because it was too good to pass up.

Life lessons from Kaylynn: When you see the opportunity to put a toasted mallow on top, the answer is always yes. And it was good.

For gorgeous cuts, freeze for 30 minutes. I was lucky this had been slightly frozen otherwise the entire pan would be gone. NO LIES.
