Ooey gooey Chex mix (that tastes like a scotcharoo)

If you're from the Midwest you know that Scotcharoos are a staple at any potluck, tailgate or holiday. They are one of my favorite desserts, but I have to be honest, I don't make them very often. They’re not overly difficult but something about making them isn’t my jam. So when my friend Dayna had this Chex mix concoction at their tailgate party that tastes just like Scotcharoos (without the chocolate frosting on top) I had to get the recipe from her. And it is literally the easiest recipe ever.

Ingredients:

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup honey

1 package butterscotch chips

1 box Corn Chex 

In a large microwave safe bowl, melt honey, peanut butter and butterscotch chips together. Once melted, stir in the cereal.

Dump it onto some parchment paper and let it dry for a couple hours. Break into clumps and eat with friends! You can also add nuts, granola, M&M’s, chocolate chips, Reese’s pieces, drizzle some dark chocolate over the top…get creative!

This makes a huge batch so store the leftovers in a plastic container.

Easy pork enchiladas

Review by Lyndee:

Remember my crockpot pulled pork recipe last week? Well we had a lot of meat leftover and I decided to use it up in something spectacular last night.  The kids love Mexican food.  We’re generally chicken or beef kind of taco people but the idea came to me to get a little creative.

1 package flour tortillas

Pulled pork

1 can rotel

1 jar queso

Shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 450.  Grease baking dish with non-stick spray. 

Place pork on tortilla in a line.  Add a dollop of queso and a pinch of shredded cheese. Roll and put in the baking dish.  Repeat.  Our 9x13 held six enchiladas.  Pour one can of rotel over the top.  Add a few more dollops of queso and some shredded cheese.  Bake 20 minutes or until cheese is golden brown and edges of tortilla are starting to crisp.  Serve with salsa and cilantro.

This was very easy to throw together and the boys just died over it.  They chowed down and kept moaning and oohing and aahing how I need to make these again soon.  They were shoveling it in so fast I told them to slow down so they didn’t choke.  They said it was one of the best recipe experiments I’ve done yet and that’s saying a lot.  We will definitely be putting this in the dinner rotation.
