When Dollar Tree asked me to create a yummy dessert idea using ingredients from their store, I was up for the challenge! Let me tell you, I have really come to love Dollar Tree. Every time I leave there, I have a small rush from how much I have just saved. Is that weird? Probably. But I really am always amazed at what things I can buy for just $1. And the best news is that I’m giving away a $100 gift card to Dollar Tree at the end of this post. If I did the math right, that means that one lucky reader can buy 100 things (before tax) from Dollar Tree. That’s a lot of stuff!
Anyway, on to my yummy dessert. I found this
recipe from the Dollar Tree Value Seekers Club. There are craft projects
and recipes that you can make entirely from Dollar Tree stuff! How cool is
that? Membership is totally free and new things are being added each month. The
layout is so handy because you can easily print out the instructions or recipe
to have on hand. I found these Mocha Raspberry Pretzelwiches and thought they
looked really unique, so I put my own spin on it by making my own frosting, and
made these lovely little sandwich cookies!
Here’s what you will need:
6oz Bag Granny’s Oven Brownie Crisps
(or any favorite chocolate wafer cookie)
Lady of Liberty Rasperry Preserves
Benzels Rod Pretzels
Cappuccino Supreme Mocha Packet
12oz. Tub Harvest Hill Vanilla
Frosting (optional - if you choose not to make your own)
To make your own buttercream:
½ cup butter
½ cup butter
2 Cups Confectioners Sugar
1 Tbs Vanilla
2 Tbs Milk
You can definitely take the easy route and just purchase a tub of vanilla frosting. I love homemade buttercream, so I chose to make my own.
(Head over to the Value Seekers Club for full instructions on how to make these beauties and you can sign
up to receive more yummy recipes and fun crafts as well.)
They are so simple to make yet look
so lovely and a little fancy if you ask me. I love the combo of the
chocolate and mocha with the tart raspberries and then a few bursts of salty
crunchiness from the pretzels. No one would ever imagine that you made these
fancy cookies with ingredients from Dollar Tree! They look like they should
come from the local french bakery.
To win the $100 gift card, you must

I would never have thought to put that combination of ingredients together but it sounds so good!
