cream cheese
 
 
 

Ingredients:
4 c powdered sugar
1 block 8 oz cream cheese
1 stick butter
2 tsp almond flavoring
4 oz almond slivers toasted and chopped (To toast almonds, spread on a cookie sheet in a 350? oven for about 5 min. - oven times vary...just don’t over brown)

Instructions:
Soften the cream cheese and butter to room temperature. Beat 1st four ingredients together for 2-3 min. until creamy. Stir in toasted almonds.


Serving Suggestion:
Remove centers of fresh strawberries with a melon baller and cut off the bottom tip so they will stand up on their own. Fill centers using a cake decorator tip that allows nuts to pass through. This is perfect for showers and parties!

 
Dixiebelle Recipe Tips
Ranch Dressing with a Twist
Sometimes all a good recipe needs to be great is one unexpected ingredient! Try making your own ranch dressing from the packet (this is easy, folks - you just add milk and mayonnaise) then for amazing flavor, add a little dill weed. It really adds a lot to an already great dressing or dip, and your guests will think it's your own special recipe!
The Perfect Hard Boiled Egg
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Set on stove and bring to a boil. Once the water comes to a boil, remove from heat, cover and let stand for 12 minutes. That's it! You'll have perfectly boiled eggs with light, fluffy yolks and no green edges.
Always Add More Chocolate!!
If a recipe calls for chocolate chips or candy bar chunks, go ahead and increase the measurement by 1/2 or more, if you dare! Because if a little chocolate is good, more is better, right?
Note: I have already adjusted the recipes on my site to include the extra chocolate.
