Butterfinger Poke Cake- this easy dessert is made with a box of chocolate cake mix‚ peanut butter‚ caramel sauce‚ and sweetened condensed milk. Topped with Cool Whip and crushed butterfinger candy‚ it is a wonderfully decadent dessert that’s perfect for a potluck or neighborhood cookout. Always a huge hit! There are 3 easy parts to this cake: a cake batter‚ gooey filling‚ and Cool Whip topping. Start With Cake Mix I love doctored cake mix recipes. A box of cake mix is such a huge timesaver and virtually fool proof. You’ll need a box of chocolate cake mix or fudge cake mix. I use either Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker. Poke Holes Once the cake mix is baked in a 9×13-inch baking pan‚ you’ll poke holes in it. You want fairly large holes so the thick liquid can seep down into them. I use the end of a wooden spoon. Condensed Milk and Caramel Filling Three ingredients make up the filling: caramel sauce (I use a jarred caramel sauce like you use as an ice cream topping)‚ peanut butter‚ and a can of sweetened condensed milk. Once it seeps down into the cake‚ it makes the cake wonderfully moist‚ like a Tres Leches Cake. Cool Whip Topping A cool and creamy topping is the perfect finish to a poke cake. I use Cool Whip‚ but you could certainly make homemade whipped cream. To finish it off‚ sprinkle on lots of crushed Butterfinger candies. Storage Will keep for 2 to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. After that it starts to get a little runny in texture.

This creamy‚ crunchy Virginia Peanut Pie is perfect for any peanut lover. With a flaky crust‚ this scrumptious dessert is like a pecan pie but with peanuts! A SOUTHERN VIRGINIA CLASSIC PIE This flavorful Virginia Peanut Pie is a classic that I grew up eating in Southern Virginia. If you’ve ever traveled in the southern half of Virginia‚ you will know it’s a famous dessert served at Virginia Diner Restaurant in Wakeville‚ VA. In fact‚ this recipe is so fantastic‚ I’ve written it so it makes two pies. I like to enjoy one with my family and give the other to friends or other family members. Or just save the other one to use later in the freezer. A win win! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ’S):  Where did this Peanut Pie come from? Like I mentioned earlier‚ the Virginia Diner is known for this pie. You might be familiar with Virginia Diner peanuts that are sold all over America. Southern Virginia is known for everything peanuts. Fun fact‚ Virginia was the first colony in the U.S. to plant peanuts. Previously‚ they were a South American crop‚ but even today‚ Virginia is still one of the largest producers of peanuts. In fact‚ Suffolk‚ Virginia dubs itself as the peanut capital of the world and is the home to Mr Peanut himself! So‚ it’s only natural that the best Peanut Pie comes from the home of the best peanuts around! Can I make a deep dish pie instead? Sure‚ if you don’t want two Virginia Peanut Pies‚ the amount of filling you get from this should fit into a deep dish pie crust (with a little leftover) but baking times will vary and I haven’t tested in a deep dish so you’d have to play that by ear. What else can I add to this pie? You can add other nuts or even some cinnamon for a fun twist to the pie filling. How should this be served? You can serve this Peanut Pie at room temperature‚ cold‚ or warmed slightly in the microwave‚ either way this is a super delicious‚ sticky pie! I would say serve it however you enjoy serving pecan pie. What are the best peanuts to use in this pie recipe? I think this pie is fantastic with the Virginia Diner brand of Peanuts. They are absolutely delicious‚ but they can be pretty expensive‚ so we often make it with good ol’ Planters Peanuts since they’re a brand that can be found pretty much everywhere and tend to be a bit cheaper.   What other toppings can I try? Honestly‚ I personally enjoy it without any toppings but my family loves it with a scoop of ice cream. You could even put a little whipped cream on top or a drizzle of caramel sauce! How to store leftover Peanut Pie? This easy Peanut Pie should be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days and it should be covered to keep fresh. It can be kept longer by freezing for up to 3 months. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) salted dry roasted peanuts – see my FAQ’s above for more information on the types of peanuts you can use. light brown sugar– if you really love a deep molasses flavor‚ try using dark brown sugar with the dark corn syrup. It will obviously make the pie much darker but does add a bit more flavor. large eggs – if you have time‚ allow the eggs to come to room temperature. This just helps them mix into the batter more evenly. all-purpose flour – this helps to thicken up the filling a bit. Do not substitute for cornstarch. dark corn syrup– or light corn syrup can be used. I think the dark brown corn syrup adds a deeper molasses flavor that I love but light corn syrup works just fine.  vanilla extract unsalted butter – if all you have is salted butter‚ that is just fine. There isn’t much salt in salted butter to really make much of a difference in taste. unbaked pie shells – just regular – not deep dish (or make homemade pie crusts) HOW TO MAKE VIRGINIA PEANUT PIE Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the peanuts into a zippered plastic bag and use something like a rolling pin to crush the peanuts. You want some larger and smaller pieces‚ set them aside. In a large bowl‚ whisk together the brown sugar‚ eggs‚ flour‚ corn syrup‚ and vanilla until smooth. Add the peanuts and stir them in. Add the melted butter and stir until smooth. Divide the filling between the two pie shells that have been placed on a sheet tray‚ this will make handling the pies easier. Bake for 45-60 minutes until just the center of the pies are slightly jiggly. Cover with foil about 30 minutes into the bake time to prevent over-browning. Allow to cool for at least 4 hours at room temperature before slicing and serving.

Thousands of senior citizens are flying to Mexico and walking back over the US border as illegal aliens in order to take advantage of the much better benefits package that illegal aliens receive. “I heard about the sweet deal those migrants were getting with housing covered‚ gift cards‚ and food‚ and compared it to what I was getting in Social Security after having worked my ass off the last 50 years‚ and it was a much better deal‚ so I decided to become an illegal alien‚” said John Baptist‚ who now goes by the name Juan Valdez. Several thousands of seniors have done the same thing‚ taking advantage of generous sociopaths in government. “We paid our fair share and we shouldn’t be getting the short end of the stick‚” one new illegal alien named Marsha said. One estimate put the percentage of Americans becoming illegal aliens to get better benefits is upwards of 5% but experts think that number will rise as it’s clear there’s absolutely no accountability for the redistribution. Newly-impeached DHS Secretary Alajandro Mayorkas made it clear that the funds are to be spent on actual illegal aliens‚ not those pretending to be illegal aliens. “Pretending to be an illegal alien is a serious crime that will be met with the full extent of the law!” Mayorkas said.

They say laughter and math are pretty universal across borders – but what about music? A catchy beat can get feet tapping all over the world. Just the right sounds can get everyone’s blood pumping with all of life’s heartbreaking‚ wonderful possibilities. If we were to get everyone to sit down and watch just one live performance‚ it would have to be Marvin Gaye singing “What’s Going On” in 1972. For listening on-demand‚ “What’s Going On” came out just the year before on the studio album of the same name‚ which itself is a treasure trove of solid tracks. It helps that it’s a concept album‚ basically meaning all the songs work together to tell a bigger whole story. That’s great‚ but to watch Gaye sing it live‚ viewers get one of those rare chances to say that elusive phrase‚ “Live sounds better than in the studio!” while getting a performance that could get everyone believing in a brighter future. Marvin Gaye touched on timeless topics with “What’s Going On” Looking at the original song and the album whose name it inspired‚ “What’s Going On” was steeped in history. The album tells the story of a Vietnam War veteran who‚ after all those horrors overseas‚ comes home to conflict‚ fear‚ and hardship right in his own home country. RELATED: This Version Of Bee Gees ‘Too Much Heaven’ Has Never Been Matched In The History Of Music “What’s Going On” is a bit more specific than that‚ inspired by Mowtown vocalist Renaldo “Obie” Benson witnessing police brutality at an anti-war protest in People’s Park; the event would later become known as Bloody Thursday. Trying to understand the disproportionate violence‚ Benson asked‚ “What is happening here?” His questions continued and so did the inspiration. He worked with Benson after his usual group turned down the tune and called it a “protest song.” To this‚ Bensonc ountered‚ “No‚ man‚ it’s a love song.” If that doesn’t sum it up beautifully‚ nothing does – just the love song performed live in just the way by Gaye we all need to pause‚ listen to‚ and soak in. On top of that‚ Benson put his own unmistakable flair on “What’s Going On” that turned it from a pure song into what Benson called a “story.” But still‚ he sings it live at his best. Gaye does something special with his live performance Mavin Gaye singing What’s Going On sounds even better live / YouTube screenshot Videos of Gaye singing “What’s Going On” have millions upon millions of views‚ and his live 1972 performance is no exception. But there‚ we get to finally say an artist sounds just as good live as he does recorded. In fact‚ some listeners avidly believe “the live is better than the recording‚” noting that the “vocals &; instruments are crisp &; the way he sung it was astounding.” Yet another lauded this particular rendition as the “VERY BEST version of the song.” MARVIN GAYE‚ early 1980s / Everett Collection Others‚ thanks to Gaye’s vocals‚ felt the meaning behind his desire to spread positivity. “This is the answer‚” one listener said. “Don’t listen to the media. Just have a good heart and love each other. That’s how we solve all these problems. All the rest is just noise. Be color blind and love each other. Period.” Similarly‚ one viewer suggested‚ “Make the world stop and listen to this song….show it on a screen with subtitles in every language.” If nothing else‚ his soothing voice and that heavenly bass performance by musician James Jamerson does belong on a global stage‚ celebrated as the international treasure that it is. The song is rooted in history with an emotional backstory / Everett Collection Click for next Article The post Marvin Gaye Singing “What’s Going On” Live Is The Performance All The World Should Watch appeared first on DoYouRemember? - The Home of Nostalgia.
