Payday Bars

We had these at Ainsley's preschool party last year and we all had to have the recipe. They are so good!

1 yellow cake mix
1 egg
1/3 cup melted butter

3 cups mini marshmallows

12 oz peanut butter chips
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup light corn syrup

2 cups rice krispies
2 cups salted peanuts

Crumble together yellow cake mix, egg and 1/3 cup melted butter. Press into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle marshmallows. Bake an additional 3-4 minutes or until puffy.

Melt together the peanut butter chips, 1/2 cup butter and corn syrup. Add to this mixture the Rice Krispies and salted peanuts. Spread over the puffy marshmallows. Cool and Cut.

Note from person who gave me the recipe: "I prefer to use a metal pan. They are MUCH better after they are cold. It's hard not to eat them right away but it is worth the wait."

Buffalo Chicken Dip

My friend had this on her blog and so I had to try it. We did it for our Labor Day appetizer and it was a huge hit! Especially with the men.

2 - 10 oz. cans of chunk chicken, drained
1 - 8 oz pkg of cream cheese, softened
1 cup ranch dressing
3/4 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce (this is buffalo wing sauce. I am sure others would work)
1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 bunch of celery, sliced into sticks
tortilla chips

Heat chicken, hot sauce, cream cheese and ranch dressing over medium heat, stirring until well blended. Add 1/2 cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Transfer into a crock pot and top with remaining cheese. Cook on low heat and serve with celery and tortilla chips.

Refrigerate leftovers.
