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!

Bridal Hanger

Image
Ok - I couldn't keep waiting on this one... so today is a two post kinda day :) More crafty things to come later... but for now, I leave you with a bridal hanger  post...  I had seen all the wire bridal hangers on pintrest and etsy... the how to directions and was bound and determined to make one... I had debated making one for everyone, but in all honesty after all the work just to get a decent looking 'Bride' I wasn't so sure about 'maid of honor' and 'bridesmaid' -- and ended up giving up. If I had not procrastinated as much as I did, I may have been able to practice more and get it to a point where I liked how they came out and wasn't so afraid of the bigger words and words with spaces and then everyone would've had one. Sadly - having multiple hangers would've been helpful as the one hanger got lost the night before the wedding and was no where to be found when the photographer was there and we started looking for it.

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 wrapped
