Cocoa Krispy Treats

So this Valentine's I totally fell for the make your own big KISS with Rice Krispies in a funnel... However, I thought, Hershey's Kisses are chocolate... so the big krispy one should be too right? So I got Cocoa Krispies and went for it...



Afterwards though, it got me thinking - you can't really just change out Cocoa Krispies for regular... it just doesn't look as rich and chocolatey as I would like...


So I decided to tweak the recipe and make the rest of the cereal into yummy, rich, chocolatey treats...

First when I melted the butter, I added in some chocolate chips.




Now, when mixing up the marshmallows - they'll be all chocolatey too :)



Then all you do is add in your Krispies and pour into your pan and you're done!




Simple and OOOOH SOOOOO GOOD!!!


Comparatively, I think they look much richer than the KISS ones did... 

 

Here's my recipe for some yummy, gooey, chocolatey Krispy Treats... 

4       Tbl      Butter
3       Tbl      Chocolate Chips
2       Cups   Mini Marshmallows
3       Cups   Cocoa Krispies

Grease your baking dish that you're going to store your treats in. 

Melt your butter a little over medium high heat and add in your chocolate and stir occasionally until completely melted.

Stir in your marshmallows until completely melted and remove from the heat.

Stir in your Krispies until they're completely covered in the marshmallow mixture and then pour straight into your baking dish. Pat down to smooth out, but not too hard or you'll get tightly packed treats.

Let cool, and enjoy!

Ok - you don't have to let them cool - they're a lot gooier, and don't hold their shape, but they're still very good warm :)

Krispy Treats are simple and oh so very good!

A Quinoa Experiment

Image
I've had a bag of red quinoa in my pantry for a long time. I originally got it to be part of a recipe that sounded good, but I didn't find all the ingredients at the time. I never really went back out to search and the quinoa just sat in the pantry. So finally I decided to make some and try something with it. And well, I'm going to pat myself on the back a little, this was one experiment I really liked! It came out so good that a few days later, I did made it again :) However, as a result, I honestly didn't take many pictures. Sorry about that. So here's the yummy red quinoa veggie salad... I didn't cook the quinoa exactly as the package said too - but you could and have it totally cold. Trust me, this is one dish that's yummy warm or cold :) I'm going to write it the way I made it though... not necessarily the way it should've been cooked.

Crock-Pot Salmon?

Image
I don't know about you, but I love my crock-pot! The ease of tossing things together, walking away, and coming back to some yummy food is wonderful! I honestly have yet to make something that hasn't come out good from the crock-pot! It's not always as pretty, but is sure is tasty! I was recently looking through a blog where a gal used her crock-pot every day for a whole year! I found lots of yummy ideas on her site, but the one that I just couldn't wait to try was salmon. Fish - from the crock-pot? This was unheard of for me... would it really taste good? Would it dry out? It was certainly worth a shot! She had done Salmon 5 different ways - with green beans  in January,  sweet and spicy  in March, lemon and dill in May,  Jamaican  in July, and cedar planked in December. I must admit, I still want to try the cedar plank as that sounds interesting to me. However, my inspiration for this one came from the sweet and spicy and the Jamaican one. They were both...

Cooling Down Part 1

Image
I must admit, ever since I did the Peach Tea post I've been thinking of other summer drinks. So over the  past week I've been having fun with some cool drinks. Tea came first to mind, understandably after the last one :) But I did take the time to get at least a little more creative with most of the drinks... the first one though was very similar to the  Peach Tea  - but it's not sun tea or peach so I did grow a little :) Generally I am all about water in all honesty. It's my go to drink of choice and I honestly do enjoy a good tall glass of water. I'll drink it hot - and I mean like hot tea water without the tea :) Or room temperature... sometimes iced, but in all honesty iced is usually my least favorite. I don't know what it is about it - but I like water. However, that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy other drinks to get my daily dose of liquids - sometimes a little flavor is pretty nice :) The tricky part is not getting too  much sugar - and yes, ...
