These are a HUGE hit! My mom has been making them for years for us and as a kid my favorite thing was to get a huge spoonfull of the dough before she baked them. Although, I am sure that is not good for you...I will still allow my kids to do the same thing. I actually have already let my son do it. And he loved it...OF COURSE! :) 1 1/4 C. all purpose flour 1/2 TSP. baking soda 1/4 TSP. salt 1/2 C. marg. or butter(softened) 1 C. sugar 1 Egg 1 TSP. vanilla 2 C. rice krispies 1 6 OZ.

Just made this the other night for the first time and they were yummy!!! Everyone loved them and I am actually taking them to a friend on Friday for a meal. I served them with rice, chips and salsa. This dish makes a lot! So, it is just two of you eating it or two adults and 1 child I would recommend freezing half of the recipe and cooking it later. 4 Chicken breast 4 oz. Cream cheese 2 TBSP. green chilis(or whole can) 2 TBSP. chopped onions 1 TBSP. butter-melted 2 C. shredded Monterey Jack with Peppers cheese(I used pepper jack cheese and shredded it myself) 2 C. cheddar cheese 1 C. salsa 1 C. whipping cream 8-10 lg. flour tortillas Cook onions in butter until carmelized. Add green chilis and cream cheese. Mix in chicken. Put 3 TBSP. of chicken mixture in each tortillas center. Then add cheeses. Then add salsa. Fold seam side down. Place in baking dish. Pour whipping cream on top. Sprinkle with remaining cheese on top. Back on 350 for 30 min.

This is my Mom's recipe. It is an oldie, but a goodie!!!  This appetizer sounds a bit weird, but it is so good!   Strawberries and Cheese   4 cups shredded cheese (sharp and mild) 3 cups mayo 1 cup pecans-chopped 8 slices bacon-cooked and chopped 1 bunch green onions chopped 2 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 1 lg strawberry preserves   Serve with crackers.  The baked Wheat Thins are great with it.   Mix all ingredients, except preserves.  Before serving heat preserves in microwave for a few seconds and pour over the dip.  Refrigerate leftovers.
