It seems the entire country has been stuck in a heat wave these past few weeks. The air conditioning in my house has been running full steam ahead and I think it’s ready for fall’s arrival.<\/p>\n

Until fall arrives, though, I’m looking for ways to beat the heat. The best way I know… by enjoying some tasty no-bake desserts.<\/p>\n

Cathy Smith’s<\/a><\/strong> (Phenix City, AL<\/a><\/strong>) Bourbon Cream Pie<\/a><\/strong> is worth turning the oven off. Her “son-in-law was the inspiration for this pie,” and he’s got some great taste.<\/p>\n

Honorary Test Kitchen Member Teresa Jacobson<\/a><\/strong> (Jacksonville, FL<\/a><\/strong>) taste tested this Blue Ribbon recipe and thought it was “fantastic.” In fact, Terese joked “her husband can’t stop talking about how good this is.” Using a pre-made chocolate cookie pie crust makes this come together in a snap. The hardest part of the recipe is waiting for it to chill. Light and creamy, adults will enjoy this simple dessert.<\/p>\n

If you love that famous nougat, caramel, and peanut candy bar, then Lisa Mersereau’s<\/a><\/strong> (Marysville, WA<\/a><\/strong>) Snickers “No Bake” Cheesecake<\/a><\/strong> is for you! “We love cheesecake and [my] twins love Snickers,” shares Lisa. “I decided to try and make something that would satisfy everyone.”<\/p>\n

Lisa’s really decadent dessert will vanish in minutes. Trust us, it did in the Test Kitchen. It tastes just like the candy bar… in fact, it may be better. I just loved the creaminess of the filling and the gooey nutty layer. So good!<\/p>\n

“This is not a dietetic recipe,” jokes Betty Graves <\/a><\/strong>(Germantown, TN<\/a><\/strong>) of her Banana Pudding Squares<\/a><\/strong>. “It’s a step-up from other banana pudding recipes.”<\/p>\n

Betty’s recipe has the awesomeness of banana pudding and banana cream pie all wrapped up in a cute square package! You really taste banana in each layer. This recipe gets two thumbs up from this banana pudding lover and I bet it will from your family too.<\/p>\n

Linda Smith<\/a><\/strong> (Oelwein, IA<\/a><\/strong>) came across Lisa G.’s<\/a><\/strong> (Buffalo, NY<\/a><\/strong>) No Bake Chocolate PB Pretzel Ritz Bars <\/a><\/strong>and had a hunch her hubby was going to love the recipe. With a pretzel, cracker, and peanut butter crust, then topped with chocolate and peanut butter what’s not to love about this extremely easy recipe? If you love a sweet and savory dessert, then you’ll love this. <\/p>\n

“This Oreo Mint Chocolate Chip Freeze<\/a><\/strong> is one of my favorites that my mother used to make for us as a child,” Victoria Whitfield<\/a><\/strong> (Tampa, FL<\/a><\/strong>) reminisces. “I am grown and still love making it for my hubby.”<\/p>\n

Mint chocolate chip and fudge are one of my favorite flavor combinations. Victoria’s recipe is so good, I had a hard time not eating the whole pie. Mint chocolate chip not your thing? I’m sure you could substitute another flavor. I bet even a basic vanilla would be delicious. It’s the perfect treat for a special party or on a warm summer afternoon.<\/p>\n

“I’m sure someone has invented these but just in case, I just did,” jokes Bobbie Hewitt<\/a><\/strong> (Lenoir City, TN<\/a><\/strong>) of how she came up with her Rocky Road Rockets<\/a><\/strong>. “They’re really quite good.”<\/p>\n

This tasty little treat reminds me of peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwiches. I used the honey peanut butter as suggested and it adds to the yumminess. You won’t be disappointed. These would be great at a party or as a fun after-school treat. They’re fun!<\/p>\n

Just because the temperature outside seems to be stuck on high, it doesn’t mean things have to be heating up in your kitchen. These awesome no-bake desserts that are the perfect solution for your summertime baking. Happy Pinching!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
