Snap, Crackle, and Gobble?!

Just so you know, I actually do make the foods that I write about. This Saturday, Jr. and I had friends over to watch the dreadful Florida game. It felt like an reinactment of that Clemson game all over again. Mid game, I snuck to the bedroom for some E! and a catnap.

The gameday menu consisted of the following:

Spicy Venison Cheese Dip*
Walkin' in Memphis Baby Back Ribs
Quiet Slaw
Bush's Baked Beans (I did chop some onion!!!)
Nathan's Hot Dogs and Toasted Wheat Buns
The necessary condiments
A few brews
A little bourbon
Rice Krispie Treats

I have to admit, I cannot recall the last time that I made Rice Krispie Treats!

HERE IS THE CUTEST RECIPE FOR
THANKSGIVING RICE KRISPIE TREATS:
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 package (10 oz., about 40) regular marshmallows
- OR -
4 cups miniature marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies®
Peanut butter
Cocoa Rice Krispies®

Directions:
1. In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
2. Add KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES cereal. Stir until well coated.
3. Cool slightly. Using buttered hands shape mixture into twelve small drumsticks.
4. Spread peanut butter on large end of each drumstick, then dip in KELLOGG'S COCOA KRISPIES cereal. Refrigerate until firm. Best if served the same day.

MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS:
In microwave-safe bowl heat butter and marshmallows on HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Follow steps 2 thru 4 above. Microwave cooking times may vary.
Note For best results, use fresh marshmallows.
1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow crème can be substituted for marshmallows.
Diet, reduced calorie or tub margarine is not recommended.
Store no more than two days at room temperature in airtight container. To freeze, place in single layer on wax paper in airtight container. Freeze for up to 6 weeks. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
*SPICY VENISON CHEESE DIP!
popular dip for wives of hunters, or anyone with a chest freezer full of meat!
about 1lb ground venison sausage
1 large block 2% Velvetta cheese
1 can Rotel, drained
a large handful sliced jalapenos
Brown the sausage in a skillet and drain. In a crock pot, melt chopped up Velvetta cheese. (I think chopping makes it melt quicker.) Add sausage, japs, and Rotel. Heat through and serve with tortilla scoops. YUMMY! For a cheesier dip, add additional Velvetta.
