By 107 Comments

No-Fuss Turtle Cake

As you already know, I simply love Kraft Foods. They make so many different products and all of them make my life easier. I recently had the opportunity to try out the new COOL WHIP Frosting and I made the No-Fuss Turtle Cake to do it. Check out the turtle cake recipe below and see just how easy it is to make. Plus, it’s simply delicious! Everyone in my boyfriend’s family really enjoyed it when I made it.

Isn’t that easy? The hardest part was waiting for the cake to bake and to cool before frosting. Seriously, it all smelled so good that it was horrible having to wait around for the cake cool. The cake was great. My whole boyfriend’s family would agree. They all loved it. We each had multiple pieces of it. It went really quickly. Even my boyfriend’s sister who doesn’t like overly sweet things (especially frosting) liked it.

Update: It appears that Kraft no longer makes this Cool Whip product. However, you can make your own chocolate Cool Whip frosting by combining a tub of Cool Whip, chocolate pudding mix, 1/4 cup cocoa, and 1 cup milk. Not as easy, but still easy enough.

Disclosure: I received coupons to try the frosting and a spatula for free. No compensation was received. The opinions expressed are my own.

Kraft Foods Energize Your Day Giveaway

You may have noticed the addition of this great little button on my memberships page recently. It means I’m a very lucky blogger. 😀 Actually, it means that I am going to be able to bring readers new products and recipes from Kraft Foods now. Yay! You don’t know how excited and proud I am to be a Kraft Foods Official Delicious Byte Blogger. To kick-off this new relationship, I am hosting a giveaway for a wonderful package of new products from Kraft Foods which can energize your entire day!

Kraft Foods Energize Your Day

Last semester, I loved starting my day off with a peanut butter and banana bagel sandwich. However, I think this Peanut Butter Banana Waffle-Wich sounds fabulous. Plus, it uses the new PLANTERS Natural Peanut Butter which is so good. It has a great peanut taste and it’s a great way to get going in the morning as I feel like peanut butter keeps me full until lunch better than some other breakfast options. Another great product to give me energy is the CRYSTAL LIGHT Energy On-The-Go Sticks in new Citrus flavor. It makes for a delicious lunch beverage as it keeps me going until the bell rings at 3:30 and then some (for bus duty and meetings).

Then, I love to pack the SNACKWELL’S new Peanut Butter Pretzels or new Cinnamon Crème Drizzled Caramel Popcorn for lunch or a quick snack afterschool. They both are a really tasty snack option. My dad enjoyed the pretzels since he’s a fan of both peanut butter and pretzels. He thought it was a pretty good and unique idea to combine the two. I loved the drizzle on the popcorn. It was great to feel like I was getting a treat without the guilt.

I’ve previously told you how much I like the KRAFT MILKBITE Milk & Granola Bars in a review last month. I think they are a great snack to come home to. It’s so great to just reach for one while I wait for dinner to be made or afterwards while watching tv. One of my favorite drinks is definitely hot chocolate. So, imagine my delight earlier this year when my boyfriend and I spotted the new JET-PUFFED Mallow Bits in Vanilla. I have been enjoying these little things in my hot chocolate ever since! They would also be great on ice cream since they are so small and crunchy.

I also got a coupon to try the KRAFT FRESH TAKE. I’m a huge fan of chicken. So, the Italian Parmesan had my name on it. This is a cool new product. It’s a mixture of spices, breadcrumbs, and cheese that you put on meat before you bake it to give it some delicious taste! The Awesome Artichoke Dip doesn’t look too bad either. I love the ease and quickness of this product as does my mom. 😉

Lastly, I also received a stylish lunch tote and food storage set for this post. I had been carrying a plain, black lunch bag for my lunch. Then, I took this one to lunch and the teachers I ate with loved it! They were surprised to see me carrying a new bag and even more surprised that it’s a lunch bag! They thought I had a new purse! That’s how awesome it looks. The food storage set is great, too. I love all of the containers and neat pieces. Now, I can take literally whatever I want to eat. Haha!

This is definitely one of my favorite packages I’ve received as a blogger with all of the new Kraft Foods products and kitchen tools. Everything just fits right into my day perfectly and easily.
