Crunchy Chocolate Caramel Chex

-

It's fast, easy, crunchy, sweet, and delicious!

What's not to love about all those?!

(Besides the fact that the word healthy is nowhere in sight!!)

My sister in law Bev first introduced this mix to me several years ago and I finally got around to making some last night for the first time. Now I wish someone would quickly eat the rest before I do! If you want something quick, sweet, and crunchy, this is it! And the whole batch is not really that big, just the right amount for a taste or two to satisfy your sweet tooth.☺



Ingredients:
8 cups chocolate chex cereal
¾ cup packed brown sugar
6 Tablespoons butter
3 Tablespoons light corn syrup
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup white chocolate chips, optional

1. Measure cereal into a large microwavable bowl; set aside.

2. In a 2-cup microwavable measuring cup, microwave brown sugar, butter, and light corn syrup uncovered on High 1-2 minutes, stirring after each minute, until melted and smooth. Stir in baking soda until dissolved. Pour over cereal.


Stir until evenly coated.


Microwave on High for 3 minutes, stirring after every minute. Pour onto parchment paper on the counter and spread it out. Cool for 10 minutes. Break into bite sized pieces.


3. In a small microwavable bowl, melt the white chocolate chips. stir until smooth and drizzle over chex mix. Allow to cool completely before storing in a tightly covered container.


Enjoy!

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Black Raspberry Vanilla Milkshake

PERFECT FOR A  WARM SUMMER DAY! I know another Black Raspberry recipe. I promise to start eating and thinking of other food/things soon but indulge me just a bit longer. I had some black raspberry juice in the fridge and in all my warm, humid berry pickings I would think of cool refreshing things to make with them and decided I need one of these. I was not disappointed! It's delicious!! 3-4 scoops Vanilla Ice Cream 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract 2-3 lg. serving tablespoons Seedless Raspberry Juice Milk, just enough to make it blendable Mash the berries and press through a sieve. Discard seeds. Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.                                                                     aaahhh, so yummy!! Be Blessed!
