BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP

Ingredients: 
1 (8-ounce) block reduced-fat cream cheese, roughly cut into 1-inch cubes
4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
3 cups diced or shredded cooked chicken
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 cup hot sauce (or less if you don't like it as spicy)
1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
1/2 cup thinly-sliced green onions (about 3 green onions)
1 Tablespoon ranch seasoning
(optional toppings: extra crumbled blue cheese, thinly-sliced green onions, chopped celery, and/or a drizzle of hot sauce)

Directions:
1. Spray the inside of the bowl of your slow cooker with cooking spray.
2. Add all ingredients to the bowl of the slow cooker, and stir until combined. (You can also stir the ingredients together in a separate bowl, and then transfer that to the bowl of the slow cooker afterwards.)
3. Cook on high for 1.5 - 2 hours, or until the cheeses are all melted. (Alternately, you can also cook this on low for 3-4 hours, or until the cheeses are all melted.) Give the dip a good final stir, then transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with extra blue cheese and green onions if desired. Serve with chips or your desired dippers.

OREO CHEESECAKE BITES

Note: Prepare to make this everyday after you make it because they are addicting. I have never made cheesecake anything before this. It isn't like your traditional cheesecake where you would need the pan. Ingredients: 36 OREO Cookies, divided 1/4 cup butter or margarine, divided 4 pkg. (8 oz. each) of cream cheese, softened 1 cup sugar 1 cup sour cream 1 tsp. vanilla 4 eggs 1/2 pound (8 oz) chocolate candy coating  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. 2. Line a 13x9" baking pan with foil, with ends extending over sides. Finely crush 24 cookies (I placed them in a food processor and crushed them finely). Melt 1/4 cup butter; mix with crumbs. Press onto bottom of prepared pan. 3. Beat softened cream cheese and sugar with mixer until blended. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each just until blended. Chop remaining 12 Oreo cookies. Gently stir into batter; pour over crust. 4. Bake for about 45 minutes or until center is almost set.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT AND PRETZEL BRITTLE

Ingredients:  1 cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoons light corn syrup or golden syrup 1/4 cup water 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 cup broken-up chunks of thin salted pretzels 3/4 cup roasted salted peanuts 3/4 to 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips Directions:  1. Either grease a large cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. Get all of your other ingredients ready; you’re going to need to add them quickly in a few minutes, and you won’t have time to hunt and measure.  2. Combine sugar, corn or golden syrup and water in a medium saucepan, stirring just until sugar is wet. Attach a candy thermometer and heat over medium-high heat, without stirring, until mixture reaches between 300 and 305 degrees F. If you don’t have a candy thermometer, you’re looking for a small amount of the mixture dropped into cold water to separate into hard, brittle threads. This takes exactly 9 minutes on my stove. 3. Remove from heat and quickly sti...
