Strawberry Crunch Pie
With shortbread crust
Ingredients
From strawberry crunch cakes to strawberry crunch cookies, this crunch topping has been haunting my tastebuds for WEEKS.
It looks like SUCH a fussy little affair, but it’s really easy to fancy it up or down, and you can use any flavor of Jello and pudding to create all sorts of fun-flavor combos!
Strawberry Crunch Topping Ingredients
- 1 package strawberry Jello
- 1 package vanilla pudding mix
- 1 stick butter, melted
- ½ cup flour
Strawberry Crunch Topping Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, add strawberry Jello mix, ¼ cup of the flour and half of the melted butter.
Mix together well until you reach a wet-sand consistency.
Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and spread jello mixture out evenly. Repeat the process with vanilla pudding mix.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until barely browned.
Step 3: Remove from the oven once done baking and allow to cool completely before attempting to crumble the crunch mixtures.
Crumble the two mixes together and store in an airtight container. This will keep in the fridge for up to a month. It’s absolutely delicious on ice cream, cupcakes and this RIDICULOUSLY rich strawberry and cream pie!
Crust Ingredients
- 1 package of shortbread cookies of choice, crushed finely
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar

Begin to work on the filling.

No Bake S’mores Bars
FULL DISCLOSURE: I am a SHAMELESS s’mores lover. It is one of my love languages and I plan on absolutely CRUSHING this pan of treats! Just saying.
Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1: Begin to melt the butter in a small sauté pan over medium-low heat.
Allow butter to come to a slow simmer, and continue simmering, stirring the butter the entire time to keep it moving.
Once it is melted, the butter will begin to foam and sizzle around the edges, but it will calm shortly.
In about 5-8 minutes, the butter will turn golden brown. Some foam will subside and the milk solids at the bottom of the pan will be toasty brown.
It will smell SO very buttery and nutty … you want every bit of it.
Please don’t filter it. It’s so good, I promise!
Step 2: Add brown butter and ALL those delicious bits to a large stockpot, keep the heat on medium, and start melting those marshmallows!
Add the bag of regular-sized marshmallows, along with half of the bag of minis and melt, stirring often and monitoring to ensure they don’t burn.
Stir in the vanilla bean paste.
Step 3: Once marshmallows are fully melted, add the cereal and crushed graham crackers, and stir well to coat them in the melted marshmallowy goodness.
Remove from the heat.
Step 4: Stir in all the goodies – the chopped chocolate, the remainder of the mini marshmallows and the crushed graham crackers.
Press mixture into a large baking vessel, sprinkle with flaky sea salt and allow to cool completely. Cut into squares of preferred size, and store in an airtight container.
In conclusion, if you're looking for some delicious and creative TikTok dessert recipes, then you've come to the right place!
