Need yummy dessert recipe for BBQ potluck

[jiminyC_fan]

Hi guys,

I need a new recipe for a dessert. My DH's work is having a BBQ potluck and he signed up for a dessert. I am tired of the same old, same old. Anyone have a good one to share?

Thanks!

3/4 cup oil
1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges, with juice

1 package instant vanilla pudding
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, with juice

12 servings 1 nine x thirteen cake Change size or US/metric
Change to: nine x thirteen cake US Metric


Mix all cake ingredients together in stand mixer and beat.
(If mixing by hand, make sure oranges are broken up) Pour into greased cake pan and bake 30-35 minutes at 325 degrees.
Cool cake before frosting.

Frosting
Mix together (with spoon) Cool Whip, dry pudding mix, vanilla and pinapple, w/juice.
Spread on cake; can serve right away, or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.



I tried making this cake for Easter and it turned out very well. It was fluffy and not to sweet, so easy to eat.
You could also make an apple or peach cobbler.

Here's one I did for a recent BBQ we went to. It was so scrumptious, that it was the first dessert gone!

Pistachio Eclair Dessert

3 C. cold milk
1 pkg (3.4 oz) instant pistachio pudding mix
1 pkg (3.4 oz) instant french vanilla pudding mix
1 carton Cool Whip, thawed
1 pkg. graham crackers
1 tub chocolate frosting

In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mixes for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Fold in Cool Whip. In a 13 X 9 baking dish, layer a third of the graham crackers and top with half the pudding mixture. Repeat layers. Top with remaining graham crackers. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Spoon frosting into a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 15-20 seconds or until softened, stirring once. Spread over graham crackers. Chill for at least 20 minutes or until frosting is set.

Enjoy! We do!

I have one for you--a family favorite and it serves a crowd.
Punch Bowl Cake
1 choc. cake mix, baked per pkg. directions in a 9x13 in. pan and cooled
2 large pkg. choc. instant pudding, prepared per pkg. directions
6 Heath candy bars, broken into small pieces
1- 12 oz. tub Cool-Whip
Cut the cake into chunks about 2inx2in. Place 1/3 into the bottom of a large glass bowl--I use a punch bowl. Spread 1/2 the pudding over the cake, cover with some of the cool-whip, sprinkle with some of the candy bars. Repeat, ending with cake. Spread Cool-Whip over the top and seal all the way to edge of bowl. Cover tightly and put into fridge overnight.
Very yummy and easy.
We have used peanut butter cups and snicker bars too for variety.

Ok, I'm back. This is what I came up with:

Cherry Cake
1 cup margarine melted in a 13X9
2 eggs
white or yellow cake mix (plus 3T flour for high altitude)
Mix together, bring up a little on the sides.
Spread 1 can cherry pie filling in the middle, almost to the sides
Sprinkle chopped nuts on top.
Bake 350 for 55 minutes, glaze if desired.

Hey, does anyone have any good rhubarb recipes?
