We had a great weekend, albeit calorie-laden. Family was in town, I gave my Twitter final, and I think most of the weekend we snacked and ate. It was a whole lot of fun.
Here's the run down of the goodies:
Ruffles Marshmallow Krispie Treats--these were disappointing. They really didn't taste too much different than regular Rice Krispie Squares. Slightly more potatoey, but not with the salty kick that I expected.
Toffee Crunch Chex Bars--these were a delightful gooey mess. We really did like these. I chose to use a Betty Crocker pouch of sugar cookie dough rather than the refrigerated variety. If I make these again in the future, I'll add more peanuts to the marshmallow layer and possibly the Chex layer. I might also use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy, just for a little more texture.
Loaded Baked Potato Dip--this is all kinds of awesome, and a big hit with my students and guests alike. I served mine with some nice thick Ruffles potato chips. If it were socially acceptable to sit down and eat this with a spoon, I probably would.
Cheesy Bacon Biscuit Pull-Aparts--it has fresh mozzarella, how bad could it be? These were super easy to make, especially when I used some of my big bag of Kirkland bacon bits. Throw in fresh mozz and shredded cheddar, and you have all around deliciousness.
