This is a salad that I get constant requests for at every family gathering we have! It looks really pretty, especially at Christmas as its festive with red, yellow and green layers.

Its a simple recipe but takes a little time, like 2 days to build. If you plan ahead, you can make it for a gathering with at least 2 days notice.

Here are the simple instructions:

First Layer
1 pack lime jello
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup cold water
1 cup crushed pineapple

Mix jello and boiling water until dissolved. Add cold water to mix. In other bowl, drain crushed pineapple and separate juice to discard. Add the crushed pineapple to jello mixture and set it all in a large bowl able to hold 3 layers (a large glass chip bowl is the best as you can see how pretty it is.) I usually set the mixture in bowl in the fridge until firm.

Second layer
1 pack Lemon jello
1 cup boiling water
I pack dream whip
I pkg. softened cream cheese
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Mix boiling water with lemon jello and set until syrupy/ or partially set. In another bowl., mix dream whip as package states. Add softened cream cheese to mixture and blend until smooth. Add in walnuts or pecans(your choice) and when this mixture is smooth, beat entire mixture together including lemon jello. Pour this mixture over first 'set' layer and set the second layer as well. This may take a number of hours or overnight.

Third Layer\
1 pkg Cherry or Raspberry Jello
I cup boiling water
3/4 cup cold water

Mix jello with boiling water until dissolved. When dissolved, add cold water. Let mixture cool completely. When cooled, pour over last layer and refridgerate till set.

I think I'm going to like this thread...heehee

I have one so far....It's really rich but so tasty with a glass of cold milk.

BonBon S'mores by Rachael Ray

Ingrediants:

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt

1 stick (4 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons molasses
3/4 cup Marshmallow Fluff
1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened
24 ounces milk chocolate chips

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the all-purpose and whole wheat flours with the sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the butter and combine on low speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 3 minutes. Add the molasses and 1/4 cup of water and mix until the dough forms a ball, about 2 minutes. Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces, pat each piece into a flat 4-inch square and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
2. Roll out each piece of chilled dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper into two 8-inch squares about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer each square, on the parchment, to a baking sheet; stack and freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
3. Remove the top sheets of parchment and, using a pastry wheel or sharp knife, cut the dough into 2-inch squares (you'll get 16 cookies from each square of dough). Prick the dough all over with a fork and bake until golden around the edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Let the cookies cool completely on a rack, then break them apart into squares. Freeze 12 squares in a resealable bag until firm, about 15 minutes; reserve the remaining cookies for another use.
4. Place the chilled graham squares on a work surface and turn them bottom side up. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the Fluff in the center of 6 squares, and about 2 tablespoons of the ice cream on the remaining 6 squares, then gently sandwich the squares together. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
5. In a microwavable bowl, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave at 50 percent power for 3 minutes. Stir until smooth; let rest until cool to the touch. Dip the ice cream sandwiches in the melted chocolate, turning with tongs to coat. Place each bonbon on a parchment paper- lined baking sheet and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour.
