CHEESE CRISPS


1 stick butter, softened
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (4oz)
1 cup flour
1 cup rice krispies cereal

OPTIONAL BUT I LIKE THE EXTRA KICK
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
4-8 shakes of tabasco

Whip together butter, cheese and optional seasonings until smooth and well incorporated.

Mix in the flour and cereal. (This is easiest to mix with your hands)

Shape into 1-1.5 inch balls and place on parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Using a glass dipped in water, smash them very thin.

Bake for 13-15 minutes at 375 degrees.

Immediately move to cooling rack.

Let cool completely to crisp up.

I get 20 final crips using my medium cookie scoop. and 15 minutes was perfect on my air bake pans.

*the thinner the crisper

**store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

***if they get a little soft, just bake at 375 degrees for five minutes to re-crisp

MOUTHWASH

 1 cup coconut oil

30 drops peppermint essential oil

1 tsp baking soda



CARAMEL MARSHMALLOW POPCORN (BALLS)


12 Cups of popped popcorn, all kernels removed
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
16 large marshmallows (roasting size)
2 TBL corn syrup
2 tsp vanilla

Over medium heat, melt together the butter and brown sugar until no longer grainy.
Add in the marshmallows and corn syrup until just melted, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat, add vanilla and stir well.
Pour over popcorn and mix until evenly coated.

I like to put it in small clumps on a parchment paper to cool or you can make it into 12 balls.  Just shape the balls, don't compress them.
