Rice Krispie Treats with peanut butter and Cheerios

INGREDIENTS

3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1 (10-oz.) package marshmallows
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
6 cups Cheerios cereal
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS

Coat a 13x9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Melt the butter in a large stockpot set over low heat. Once the butter has melted, add the marshmallows and cook, stirring, until the marshmallows have melted. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the peanut butter then stir in the Cheerios until they are well coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, pressing it firmly into an even layer. Allow the treats to cool to room temperature.

Once the treats are completely cooled, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or in a double-boiler. Transfer the melted chocolate to a sealable plastic bag then pipe it across the top of the treats. (Alternately, use a fork to splatter the chocolate across the top.) Allow the chocolate to cool then use a sharp knife to cut the treats into 12 squares. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature.

This can be salty so rinse those beans and don’t add salt until after the chicken broth goes in and you taste it. Super delicious!!!

Ingredients

2 (14.5-ounce) cans white beans

1 tablespoon canola oil

(Optional, I leave out) 1 medium jalapeno pepper, minced

2 medium poblano peppers, chopped

1 large onion, chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced

freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander

1 teaspoon chili powder

3 cups chicken broth

2 limes, juiced, plus lime wedges, for serving

1 rotisserie chicken, skin removed and meat shredded. Or 1.5 lbs cooked chicken breast, diced/shredded/whatever

1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves

Sour cream, for topping

Tortilla chips, coarsely crushed, for topping

Directions

1. Drain and rinse the canned white beans. In a medium bowl, mash half of the beans with a potato masher until chunky. Reserve the beans until needed.
2. Add the canola oil to a large Dutch oven and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the peppers, onions, and garlic and saute until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Season the vegetables with pepper, to taste. Add the cumin, coriander, and chili powder and continue to saute for 1 more minute to toast the spices. Stir in the chicken stock, and lime juice and bring to a simmer. Add the beans and continue to simmer for 20 more minutes.
3. After 20 minutes of simmering, taste for seasoning, and adjust if necessary. Stir in the shredded chicken and cilantro and simmer until heated through, about 5 more minutes. Serve the chili in individual bowls topped with a dollop of sour cream, crushed tortilla chips, and lime wedges.
