End of Vol 1

 The pina coladas and the Rice Krispie treats and anything after this post weren't in the recipe book. JUST in case I decide to make a vol. 2 ~pic is so I can easily get here~ 


Salted Caramel Rice Krispie Squares



 Holy Cow Batman are these A.MAZ.ING! That said I am a huge fan of Rice Krispie treats! 

What You'll Need:

6 cups Rice Krispies

1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 teaspoon kosher salt or flaked sea salt, plus more for sprinkling on top
1 10-ounce bag of mini marshmallows, plus about 1 cup of additional mini marshmallows


Method:
In a large bowl, toss together the Rice Krispies and 1 cup of mini marshmallows. Set aside.

Spray an 9x13 baking pan 

In a large, heavy pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. When it’s melted, reduce the heat to medium and add the brown sugar, whipping cream, and corn syrup and cook for about 7 minutes, stirring frequently to keep the caramel from scorching. When the caramel is thick and syrupy, add in the salt and stir to combine, then remove from heat and add the 10 ounces of marshmallows. Stir until the marshmallows are dissolved, then quickly pour over the Rice Krispies and stir quickly to coat completely. Press into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle with sea salt. Allow to cool completely (I allow mine to cool in the freezer so I am then allowed to eat them more quickly) and then cut into squares.



Pina Colodas- Almost as good as Hawaii... almost!

At the Luau Todd and I went to in Hawaii they brought us endless pina coladas... they were amazing! When we got home we searched and searched for the recipe, no luck. So I 'made' this one... it's really close.  


1 Can of Coconut Cream (we have only used Coco Lopez 15 oz can, not sure how other brands would do)
150 g FRESH Pinapple Juice 
100 g Cream
2 C Ice (approx)

Put it all in the Vita and mix away! These are good! Not quite 100% like the ones we had in Hawaii, my guess is their coconut cream is fresh, rather than canned, but these will definitely not disappoint!
