Bake the cake using the instructions on the box. Allow the cake to cool. Mix it with the can of icing and put in the freezer for about an hour. Remove the mixture from the freezer and roll into balls. Melt your chocolate and dip the balls into the chocolate. Put them back in the freezer for another hour and voila! A trendy dessert in only a few hours.
Swiss Cheese Dip
Easy to throw together and delicious! You’ll need a tomato, a green pepper, mayonnaise, green olives, and Swiss cheese. Chop half a tomato and a green pepper into cubes. Slice 10 green olives in half and set your veggies aside. Pour a bag of shredded Swiss cheese in a bowl. Add a fourth of a cup of mayonnaise and stir in all of your vegetables. Serve with crackers of your choice.
Brie
This one is a no-brainer. Get a wedge of Brie cheese and heat in the microwave for about two minutes. Serve with crackers and grapes.
Pita and Hummus
This is a great alternative to heavy snacks. Making your own pita chips is a breeze. You will need a pack of pita bread, olive oil, garlic salt and pepper. Preheat the oven to four hundred.
