Football Brownie idea


My sister in law made these for the superbowl and I thought they were so cute. 

Candy Popcorn


1 cup butter or margarine
1 1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup Karo syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 bag marshmallows
2 bags microwave popcorn set aside in large bowl after popping, make sure you get all the kernels out. 
1 bag cinnamon bears

Over low heat mix butter, sugar & karo syrup 1-3 minutes or until butter is melted and just starts to boil. Remove from heat and add vanilla and marshmallows.  Pour and stir over popcorn and cinnamon bears until mixed.  

Kathy's Boneless Buffalo Wings

I hate buffalo wings usually cause I am not a fan of bones in chicken so I thought I would try these boneless buffalo wings.  You can adjust the hot sauce to you liking.  They are suppose to be a little healthier than normal hot wings.  They turned out great, forgot to get the picture. This recipe came out of the Ogden Standard Examiner.

1 cup trans-fat-free Panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Ice water
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 cup hot sauce
Cooking spray

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Set a rack on a foil lined baking sheet.  Spray the rack generously with cooking spray.  

Combine the first four ingredients in a pie plate or shallow bowl and mix well.  Slice each chicken breast into six pieces, then put the chicken in a large bowl of ice water until well chilled.  Remove the chicken from the ice water and pat dry with paper towels.  Using a pastry brush, throughly coat each piece of chicken breast with light mayonnaise.  Transfer the chicken to the pie plate and bread each piece.  

Put the chicken on the prepared rack and spray each piece lightly with cooking spray. 

Place the baking sheet on the bottom shelf of the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the coating crisps and browns.  Place the baked chicken pieces into a container that has a lid.  Pour the hot sauce over the chicken in the container, cover with chicken is coated with hot sauce.
