Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

• 5 pounds Russet Or Yukon Gold Potatoes
• 3/4 cups Butter
• 1 package (8 Oz.) Cream Cheese, Softened
• 1/2 cup (to 3/4 Cups) Half-and-Half
• 1/2 teaspoon (to 1 Teaspoon) Lawry's Seasoned Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon (to 1 Teaspoon) Black Pepper

Preparation Instructions

Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces that are generally the same size. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook for 30 to 35 minutes. When they’re cooked through, the fork should easily slide into the potatoes with no resistance, and the potatoes should almost, but not totally, fall apart.

Drain the potatoes in a large colander. When the potatoes have finished draining, place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over low heat, allowing all the steam to escape, before adding in all the other ingredients.

Turn off the stove and add 1 ½ sticks of butter, an 8-ounce package of cream cheese and about ½ cup of half-and-half. Mash, mash, mash! Next, add about ½ teaspoon of Lawry’s Seasoning Salt and ½ a teaspoon of black pepper.

Stir well and place in a medium-sized baking dish. Throw a few pats of butter over the top of the potatoes and place them in a 350-degree oven and heat until butter is melted and potatoes are warmed through.

Note: When making this dish a day or two in advance, take it out of the fridge about 2 to 3 hours before serving time. Bake in a 350-degree oven for about 20 to 30 minutes or until warmed through.

Milky Way Muddy Buddies

Ingredients

• 8-9 cups Chex Cereal, I used 8 because I like mine more chocolate coated
• 7 regular Milky Way Candy Bars
• ½ cup butter
• ¾ cup powdered sugar, may need more depending on how coated you like it, I always start out with this much and add more as needed

Instructions

1. Measure out Chex Cereal and pour into a large bowl. Set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, melt butter and Milky Way candy bars over LOW heat. Stir constantly. This can easily burn so it is important to keep close eye on it and keep stirring :)
3. Once completely melted together, pour over Chex cereal and stir and fold it into the cereal to evenly coat. It will be thick, just keep folding it in. It will eventually cover.
4. Evenly distribute/sprinkle powdered sugar over the chocolate covered Chex cereal. Stiring and folding to cover evenly.

Peanut Butter Snickers Pie with salted Caramel

No-Bake Deep-Dish Peanut Butter Snickers Pie with Salted Caramel

This rich, decadent pie has so many textures and flavors going on, there's bound to be something for everyone. The cookie crust is double the thickness of most. It's firm, chocolaty, and the perfect crunchy contrast to the smooth, soft, creamy peanut buttery filling. The cream cheese in the filling adds a slight tanginess and is another flavor undertone but takes a backseat to the intensity of the peanut butter. The abundance of diced Snickers on top adds more texture and flavor, while the salted caramel helps to cut some of the sweetness, and adds more luscious flavor. The pie is no-bake, fast and easy to assemble, but does need to freeze for at least 3 hours so it can set up. There's no harm making it well in advance of an event (about 1 week) because it keeps beautifully in the freezer (about 2 months). Let pie come to room temp for about 15 minutes for easier slicing. If you have extra Halloween candy (or Easter, birthday party, etc.) to use, mix-and-match and use that instead of Snickers.

YIELD: 1 9-inch springform pan, 10+ very generous pieces

 

PREP TIME: 20 minutes

COOK TIME: 0 minutes

 

TOTAL TIME: 3+ hours, for chilling and setting up

INGREDIENTS:

Crust
20-ounce package chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed to fine crumbs (I used chocolate-filled Trader Joe's version of Oreos - 43 cookies in the package; classic Oreos or another chocolate sandwich cookie may be used)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (3/4 of 1 stick)

Filling and Topping
8 ounces cream cheese, softened (I used Trader Joe's spreadable light cream cheese; reduced fat or full-fat cream cheese may be used)
8 ounces Cool Whip, at room temperature (I used Fat Free Cool Whip; reduced fat or full-fat whipped topping may be used)
heaping 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter or honey roasted peanut butter (use Jif, Skippy or similar; do not use natural or homemade because it can separate)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
about 1 cup Snickers, diced small (I used Peanut Butter Squared Snickers; or use your favorite candy)
about 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce, for drizzling (I used Trader Joe's; use your favorite brand or make Homemade Caramel Sauce)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray; set aside. If you don't have one, a 9-inch square pan would likely work, although I have not tested it. Do not use a 9-inch traditional pie dish because it will be too shallow.
2. Crush cookies by placing them in a food processor and processing until they're a fine dust, noting that the filling may melt a bit which is okay. Using a Vita-Mix is not ideal because it will melt the cookies before it will crush them, and you will have to work in batches, tamping down frequently. Crushing cookies in a large Ziplock and rolling over it with a rolling pin may work, provided you take your time and make sure the cookies are broken down into a fine dust. Set crumbs aside.
3. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power.
4. Add the cookie crumbs to the butter, and stir to combine. Mixture will be thick, slugdy, and fudgy.
5. Turn mixture out into prepared pan, pressing it down firmly with a spatula and smoothing the top so that crust it flat and even; set pan aside.
6. Filling and Topping - In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, Cool Whip, peanut butter, vanilla and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes on medium-high speed. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl. This is a recipe I found it easier to use my handheld mixer than stand mixer.
7. Add confectioners' sugar slowly and mix to incorporate, making sure to start mixing on low speed so sugar doesn't fly everywhere. Beat until smooth and combined, about 2 minutes on medium-high speed.
8. Turn mixture out onto prepared crust, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
9. Evenly sprinkle with diced Snickers. I used a generous 1 cup; use more or less depending on how thick you want the candy layer.
10. Evenly drizzle with caramel sauce; just eyeball it. Use more or less depending on how thick you want the caramel.
11. Cover pan with clingwrap or foil to prevent freezer smells, and place pan in freezer for at least 3 hours to set up before slicing, or overnight. I made pie 3 days before slicing it. Recipe can be made well in advance of an event, about 1 week or so, if desired.
12. When ready to serve, allow pie to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes. Carefully remove springform ring, and slice. The pie slices easily after about 15 minutes at room temp.  The filling doesn't really freeze solid and doesn't get as hard as ice cream does. Pie will keep covered in freezer for about 2 months or in the refrigerator for about 10 days. I store in the freezer because of the longer shelf life and prefer this pie well-chilled.

Creamy Baked Taquitos

Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos
1/3 C (3 oz) cream cheese
1/4 C green salsa
1T fresh lime juice
1/2 t cumin
1 t chili powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/4 t granulated garlic, or garlic powder
3 T chopped cilantro
2 T sliced green onions
2 C shredded cooked chicken (for extra yumminess, use grilled taco chicken!)
1 C grated pepperjack cheesesmall corn tortillas (and actually, flour ones are really good as well)
kosher salt
cooking sprayHeat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.Heat cream cheese in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds so it’s soft and easy to stir. Add green salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and granulated garlic. Stir to combine and then add cilantro and green onions. Add chicken and cheese and combine well.You can prepare up to this step ahead of time. Just keep the mixture in the fridge.
Work with a few tortillas at a time and heat in the microwave until they are soft enough to roll without cracking. It helps to place them between damp paper towels. Usually 20-30 seconds will do it. If you find yours are cracking when you roll them or are coming unrolled right away, just try heating them longer and try the paper towel thing.
Place 2-3 T of chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges.  Roll up tortillas and place seam down on a baking sheet, not touching one another.  Spray lightly with cooking spray, or lightly brush with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with kosher salt.  Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown.  Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
