Scotcheroos

These are another addicting treat. My friend Brittney has made these a few times and brought them to different events and they are always a hit. YUMMY!

Scotcheroos

1 c. Light corn syrup
1 c. Sugar
1 c. Peanut butter
6 c. Rice Krispies
1 c. Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 c. Butterscotch Chips

Mix corn syrup and sugar in a pan over medium heat until sugar dissolves and begins to boil. Remove from heat and stir in Peanut Butter. Mix well. Add Rice Krispies. Spray 9x13 pan with PAM and press in rice Krispie mix. Melt Chocolate chips and Butterscotch chips on low heat. Pour on top and spread over the whole pan. Let cool and ENJOY!

Yummy Peanut butter bars

***WARNING***
These are addicting. I am not responsible for any weight gain due to eating the whole pan

I got this recipe from a friend and it quickly became a favorite of mine.

1c. Butter (softened)
1c. Sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. Salt
2c. Flour
1c. Brown Sugar
2/3 c. Peanut Butter
1 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp Baking soda
2c Oatmeal

Mix together all ingredients and spread out on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. As soon as they are out of the oven pour a bag of Semi Sweet Chocolate chips over the top (these should melt by themselves if they are not then just put the pan in the oven for a minute). Drizzle over the top 1/2 cup peanut butter mixed with 2 T powerdered sugar and thinned down with milk and enjoy!!!

Cheesy Garlic Ranch Potatoes

These are some of our favorites as far as potatoes. I get so tired of Potatoes and Gravy so this is a good way to mix it up a little bit. I don't really have exact measurements since you do sort of make as many as needed but this is just the directions....

So boil your potatoes so they are soft enough to mash them. So put in your butter and instead of milk use Ranch Dressing to thin them down (Do not use a bottle of ranch though it won't taste good) I always used the BYU creamery Ranch. It seems to have the best flavor but if that is not available then use another restaurant style ranch. I buy a thing of it from the salad bar at our grocery store here in Texas since we don't have creamery around. Anyway, while mixing put a bunch of shredded mild cheddar cheese in it too (make sure to put it in while it is hot or it won't melt). I always add a little bit of garlic salt w/parsley in it as well for a little extra flavor. So mix these to the consistency that you like your potatoes and enjoy. NO GRAVY NEEDED

These go awesome with prime rib, steaks, ham or especially the Marinated Shredded ham that i have posted on the website.
