Apparently this recipe has been around for a long time but until this past Christmas I have never eaten it----loved, loved, loved it!! As always my favorite recipe's are those that are delicious and easy, so here's another one. Donna Bulldog Brittle 8 whole graham crackers 1 cup of chopped pecans 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter 1/2 cup sugar This is so good and so inexpensive to make that you will probably want to double the recipe. Break crackers into fourths. Place on foiled lined cookie sheet pan, leaving space between crackers. Sprinkle chopped pecans over top of crackers. Melt margarine and butter in boiler. Add sugar, bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil exactly 2 minutes, pour over pecans and crackers. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. DO NOT BROWN. Let cool and break into pieces.

This was a hit the other night when we had friends over. Super easy and delicious! Here goes: Combine the following ingredients in a crockpot: 4 chicken breasts 1 can black beans 1 can corn 1 can rotel 1 cup salsa chopped fresh cilantro Cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 8 hours. Just like the chicken taco recipe, shred the chicken before serving. I served with tortillas making tacos - garnished with cheese, avocados and sour cream. I also served with taco rice as a side. Hope you guys enjoy as much as we did.

Also, on a side note: my middle son is allergic to dairy, so on most recipes that I post that include milk or whipping cream, I use soy milk instead and it works great.
