Mrs. Tebow’s Rice Krispie Ice Cream Pie

- Mama 2 Comments

There’s this football player. He’s not that well known or anything, so I’m sure you haven’t heard of him… he’s just, y’know… Tim Tebow.

And he has a very, very special lady in his life. Namely, his mom. She has an amazing pie recipe, and rumor has it that it’s one of his favorite treats.

It’s one of my favorites, too.

Start by putting 2 1/2 cups of Rice Krispies into a bowl and setting them aside. Then, in a saucepan, combine 1/4 cups light corn syrup, 1/4 cup butter, and  Tablespoons of brown sugar, bringing to a boil over low heat, remembering to stir occasionally. Pour the heated corn syrup mixture over the Rice Krispies, and mix until coated. Then, immediately press it into the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9 inch pie plate.

After that, take 1/4 cup each of hot fudge ice cream topping, creamy peanut butter, and corn syrup and mix them until they’re totally smooth. Spread half of that over the bottom of the crust, then freeze it until firm for 20 minutes. Cover the rest and stick it in the fridge until later.

Spoon softened vanilla ice cream (you’ll need a quart!) into the crust, spreading it evenly, then freeze the covered pie for an hour and a half until it’s firm. Remove it from the freezer about 10 minutes before you plan to serve it. Microwave the rest of your chocolate topping for about 20 seconds, then drizzle it over the pie.

I promise, you’ll love it almost as much as Tim Tebow does.

Crunchy Rice Krispie Chicken Nuggets

- Mama 2 Comments

Wait, what? Chicken nuggets that are crunchy, and not bad for you? And they’re made with Rice Krispies?

I promise, your eyes do not deceive you.

Start with a pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts, and cut them into small strips about one to one and a half inches in size, then preheat your oven to 450 degrees.

Combine an egg, 1/8 cup ranch dressing, and 1 tablespoon of water in a bowl. In another bowl, mix together 2 cups Rice Krispies, 1 teaspoon of seasoned salt, 1/4 teaspoon of minced garlic, and 1/4 cup shredded cheese in your favorite variety… I used a mixture of cheddar and mozzarella because it’s what I had on hand.

Dip your chicken in the egg mixture, then coat with the Rice Krispie/Cheese mixture. Place it in a single layer on a cookie sheet and bake at 450 for 12 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink.

It’s cheesy. It’s chicken-y. It’s amazing, and it should be your dinner tonight. Just saying.

Double Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Rice Krispie Treats

- Mama 2 Comments

Don’t let the mouthful of a name scare you… these Rice Krispie Treats are so easy to make, and delicious, too!

Start by melting 1/4 Cup butter and 1 bag (10 oz) of Jet-Puffed Mini Marshmallows in a saucepan over low heat on the stove, making sure you stir frequently. When those are totally melted, remove your pan from the heat and stir in 1/4 teaspoon of Sea Salt. Take 5 cups of Rice Krispies and 1/2 cup pretzel sticks (each broken in 2-3 pieces) and fold those into the marshmallow mixture.

Pat that into a foil-lined 9×13 pan, being sure not to press too hard or the treats will get too hard.

Take 1/4 cup of caramel chews, chopped into pieces, and drizzle that over the treats. Then, melt 1/4 cup of white chocolate and drizzle that on top of the treats. Finally, melt 1/4 cup of milk chocolate chips and drizzle that on top of them! Finish with a generous sprinkle of sea salt, and these salty-sweet treats are ready to be eaten!

I decided to use a cookie cutter to cut my treats into hearts, but you can use your imagination on what style to slice these bars into!
