Halloween Scotcheroo Treats

This is a new version of your Rice Krispie Treat without the messy marshmallows. AND, it works awesome in all Demarle products - flexipat, any mold, any flexipan tray - the possibilities are endless and just in time for some  fun and yummy halloween themed treats!
(I tried these at a Demarle team training last night thanks to Maxine! She brought them to share along with the recipe ripped out of a magazine, so I'm not quite sure where the recipe originated and cannot give credit where credit is due, sorry!)

  • 1 cup Karo Light Syrup
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips
  • candies for decorating
  • frosting OR melted chocolate for decorating
1. cook corn syrup and sugar together in a large pan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Bring mixture to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter; mix well. Add cereal; stir until evenly coated. OR, better yet - do this all in your Large Round Mold in the microwave and don't deal with the mess on the stove in a pot. Follow the same steps but keep checking and stirring every 30-60 seconds.

2. Pour into the Flexipat, any Flexipan Mold or divide into any tray - above is a picture of them in the Medium Tartlet Tray.

3. Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips together in saucepan over low heat (or in microwave in small mold at 50% power), stirring constantly. Spread over cereal.

4. Cool at least 45 minutes, or until firm. If desired, pipe frosting to form Halloween shapes or words, use candies and frosting to create fun halloween shapes. The photo above uses candy corn, mini marshmallows (Jelly Bellys would also work well for eyes), maraschino cherries and cocount to create some bunnies or cats.

Chili Relleno Quiche...or any other kind of crustless quiche

Image
This is the most popular recipe, by far, from the food I make at my parties! And, to my surprise, I have never posted it on here...so, figure I should now. EASY EASY RECIPE!!! This is the recipe for about a 2qt mold, like the flower mold, or if you're going to pour into a tray (muffin, square savarin, etc.). However, I use the Sunflower mold the most, so in parentheses I will put how much I use for the sunflower mold ...if that makes any sense ;) Ingredients: 8 eggs, beaten (10) ¾ cup sour cream (1 cup) 3 cups Monterey Jack & Cheddar shredded cheese mix (4 cups) - you can use whatever cheese you like best, even the Mexican blend would be good. I like the Jack/Cheddar combo best though 2 - 4 oz cans or 1 - 7 oz can of diced green chilies, undrained (a 4 oz AND a 7 oz can) Tabasco Sauce, optional (I never use this at parties, but if you like spice, go for it!) Whisk the eggs first, really well.  Then, add your sour cream and whisk very well. It turns out best when t...

Chocolate Kahlua Cake

Image
Yummy!! I found this recipe in the new Demarle Dessert cookbook and it is so good! Any 18-22 oz package Chocolate Cake mix. I used a Duncan Hines Devil's Food mix 4 eggs 1 cup sour cream 1 cup Kahlua 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Preheat oven to 340. In the mixing bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, sour cream, Kahlua and oil. Beat with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes until blended. Do not over mix. Stir in chocolate chips with spatula. Place Fluted Bundt Mold on perforated baking sheet. Pour batter into mold. Bake for 45 minutes. Check to see if cake is done with toothpick. Do not over bake! Remove from oven and cool for 15 minutes in pan before unmolding. You can spinkle powdered sugar on top, drizzle with melted white chocolate chips or decorate with whipped topping. But I did not do any of those and it was perfect as is, and it is so easy to make!!

Instant Pot One Pot Pasta

This is a form of baked ziti with meat sauce, but all made in one pot. No more cooking in 2 pots on the stove and then in the oven in a third dish. The family loved this!  Ingredients: Olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 2 cloves of garlic, chopped (or these amazing frozen garlic chunks) italian seasoning (I just eyeball this, but I'm guessing I used 1 tsp of salt, pepper, 1 tbsp dried parsley, 2 tsp dried basil, or these fabulous frozen basil chunks) 1 lb ground beef (I prefer lean just so you don't have to drain it but up to you; could also use turkey, sausage, or no meat) 1 jar pasta sauce (I like the Trader Joe's tomato & basil marinara) 1 jar of water 1 15 oz can tomato sauce (or more of the jar, but this is how I made it tonight so those are the ingredients I'm listing) 1 lb your favorite tube pasta; we used penne pasta (tube just holds more stuff inside and tends to be better for this type of recipe) 1 cup mozzarella cheese, optional Se...
