PB Rice Krispy Treats

I just posted this on my blog today but this is a simple recipe just a different twist on Rice Krispy Treats. Oh & hey it's my FIRST recipe post! Woo-hoo even though I have a lot more I just always forget to add them here.

Anyways enjoy!

PB Rice Krispies {recipe taken from my MIL}

1 cup Karo Syrup
1 cup white sugar
1 cup PB (peanut butter, duh!)
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

chocolate chips of choice (optional)

Put Karo Syrup & sugar in saucepan & heat at med-low heat. You DO NOT want it to boil! The sugar just needs to dissolve. When sugar is dissolved take off of heat & add the PB & mix well till all melted together & pour over Rice Krispies cereal & mix all up & then press into 9x13 pan.

Optional:
Sprinkle chocolate chips on top & to help with the melting you can place under the broiler BUT BE SUPER CAREFUL!!! You DO NOT want burnt chocolate taste. You just want to help the chips melt a tiny bit so you can spread it easier.

Restaurant-Style Buffalo Chicken Wings

Restaurant-Style Buffalo Chicken Wings
(I got this recipe from All-Recipes. It had 5 stars. It calls for traditional wings with the bones which we don't like. So instead I cut up pieces of chicken and used that instead. I used the same time to cook that it said below and it cooked them too long, they were chewy. However, the sauce is freaking awesome and so easy. Taste just like you get in a wing shop. So next time I would cook the chicken different but use the sauce.)
oil for deep frying

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup hot sauce (I use Texas Pete)

1 dash ground black pepper

1 dash garlic powder

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

10 chicken wings

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). The oil should be just enough to cover wings entirely, an inch or so deep. Combine the butter, hot sauce, pepper and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir together and heat until butter is melted and mixture is well blended. Remove from heat and reserve for serving.

In a small bowl mix together the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper and salt. Place chicken wings in a large nonporous glass dish or bowl and sprinkle flour mixture over them until they are evenly coated. Cover dish or bowl and refrigerate for 60 to 90 minutes.

Fry coated wings in hot oil for 10 to 15 minutes, or until parts of wings begin to turn brown. Remove from heat, place wings in serving bowl, add hot sauce mixture and stir together. Serve.
