Whatchamacallits


The recipe I got this from actually called them O'Henry's...but I already have a recipe called O'Henry's that's nothing like these and these remind me totally of the Whatchamacallit candy bars....so hence the name I picked.

1 c. Karo syrup
1 c. sugar
1 c. peanuts (chopped)
1 c. peanut butter
3 c. Rice Krispies
1/2 pkg. chocolate chips
1/2 pkg. peanut butter chips

Stir together Karo syrup and sugar. Microwave for 2 minutes. Add peanuts and peanut butter to the Karo mixture. Microwave everything for 1 minute. Add 3 cups of Rice Krispies. Spread into a greased 9" x 13" pan.

Combine chocolate chips and peanut butter chipsin a bowl and microwave for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Spread over krispie mixture and cool in the refrigerator.

Easy Alfredo Sauce

1/2 c. butter
1 (8 oz) Package Cream Cheese
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 c. milk
6 oz. grated parmesan cheese
ground black pepper (optional)
Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with wire whisk until smooth. Add milk slowly, stirring continuously. Stir in parmesan. Remove from heat when sauce reaches the consistency you want. Remember it will thicken very rapidly when cooled. If you overcook...thin with milk.


I like to serve this with chicken and fettucine noodles. I marinate the chicken tenders in zesty italian dressing and then either grill or sautee them...slice...and serve over the noodles.
