We are going on a family trip up to a cabin in the mountains this weekend and I am bringing dessert (for 7 adults and 6 kids).  I am definitely going to do a pan of Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats but need something else too.  Any ideas on something easy that can be made a day ahead and transported up in the car for 3 hours???  TIA!

    I haven't tried this yet, but I copied the recipe bc a few people here said it was super good and sounds really easy!

    CHOCOLATE ECLAIR CAKE     

    2 sm. pkgs. vanilla instant pudding
    3 c. milk
    1 (8 oz.) Cool Whip
    1 pkg. graham crackers

    Choc frosting



    Make vanilla pudding with just 3 cups of milk. Mix Cool Whip with pudding. Layer in a 9 x 13 inch pan as follows: layer whole graham crackers, then 1/2 Cool Whip mixture, then layer graham crackers, then other 1/2 of Cool Whip mixture, then top with graham crackers (one layer). Frost with chocolate frosting for Eclair Cake.

    How about strawberry shortcake. Buy the premade shortcake, thing of strawberries you can cut up there and add sugar, and take a frozen whip cream that will thaw in the car? Or cookies/brownies

    Berry Berry Cool Pie

    1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk

    1/2 cup lemon juice

    1.5 - 2cups assorted fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)

    1 (8oz) container cool whip

    1 (6oz) ready pie crust

     

    In a large bowl, mix together sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice; combine well.  Mix in berries.  Fold in cool whip. Spoon mixture into crust.  Freeze 5 hours or until set.  Let stand 30-40 minutes before serving.  Garnish as desired.  Store leftovers covered in freezer.

    ** Just put it in a cooler w/some ice packs to travel **

    check out kraftfoods.com, everything they have is easy and good. Everyone loved the strawberry trifle and you could just put it together when you got there.
