#shop #EatMoreBitesTo me, nothing screams summer like fresh berries. I love buying (and growing), organic strawberries and blueberries for my family. I also love creating yummy recipes using these fresh ingredients. What goes better with strawberries than chocolate? If you ask me, I’ll say nothing!

I decided to whip up a yummy dessert, something light, with a twist. I ran over to Walmart to pick up a few things, I had an idea, and once I get an idea in my head-watch out! All the menfolk in my life love sweets, so I’m constantly trying to think of new & innovative desserts for them. Sometimes, I’ll take an old favorite and mix it up a bit… that’s what I did with my TWIX® Berry Delight! I headed to the candy aisle, because the chocolate I needed for this recipe was TWIX® Bites!photo-528 I grabbed a couple bags of TWIX® Bites and headed to the produce section for all my yummy fruit. Ingredients for this one are simple: TWIX® Bites, strawberries, blueberries, whipped cream, cream cheese and jello! Oh and sugar, but not too much.

In my mind, I could taste the TWIX® Bites and berries combined & it was divine! Wait, have I mentioned the coupon? Y’all know I’m a frugal shopper & if there’s a coupon out there, I’m gonna find it! Like the one below, just click on the pic to get it!   2539_21mars_wmt_CB-Bite-Assets_vB-300x157

So I get home & start putting my plan into action, first thing I needed to do was crush up my TWIX® Bites. #shop #eatmorebites Once that was done, I packed it all down in my 9×13 baking dish, to form the crust. #shop #eatmorebites You’ll notice I didn’t pulverize it, I wanted to keep it kinda chunky- I wanted that chunky texture! Next, I popped it in the oven (400*) for 7 minutes.  OH! Grease your pan- please! #shop #eatmorebites It came out of the oven all ooey-gooey… and smelling so good! Let it cool completely. Make the cream cheese mixture & spread it onto the cooled crust. #shop #eatmorebites#shop #eatmorebites#shop #eatmorebites Now, prepare your jello mixture, add the fruit, and once it has thickened up a bit-pour it over the cream cheese layer. #shop #eatmorebites#shop #eatmorebites#shop #eatmorebites#shop #eatmorebites Look at all that yumminess! I love it! Y’all want a close-up, don’t cha?! #shop #eatmorebites  And how about a side view?! #shop #eatmorebites Yes, Lawd! Give me mine right now! But wait, it’s not quite finished yet, gotta put it in the fridge for a bit. How about a few more pics of the finished product?!#shop #eatmorebites#shop #eatmorebites
