Most of us will be invited to some kind of holiday social gathering with a request to “bring a dish”. Back when I worked for the newspaper each division had a party and I tried to make all of them if for anything, the food! We had some amazing cooks at the paper.
For the time and kitchen challenged I am sharing 3 recipes that have 3 ingredients that will get you rave reviews and more than one request for the recipe. None of these are "my" creations but they have become standard at my house around the holidays.
My Dad and his wife hide their cans of cookies from each other. Dad's wife had thought hiding her cookies in the freezer was safe. Unfortunately for her she was WRONG. Imagine her surprise when she went to snack on her hidden gems only to find out my Dad doesn't mind eating frozen cookies!
(If you Google any of these recipes you will most likely find a pictorial demo if needed)
Mint Oreo Truffles
(You will need a food processor or blender and wax paper)
1 bag of mint Oreo cookies (or any other flavor)
1 block of cream cheese, softened
1 package of white chocolate or regular chocolate bark
Crush cookies until fine. Mix crushed cookies with cream cheese. Roll into small balls. (I have a melon scoop that makes the perfect size)
Melt chocolate bark per package directions in a bowl big enough that you can dip balls into. (Refrigerate the balls for about 15-20 minutes if they get too soft before dipping into chocolate)
Roll balls into the chocolate using a fork, tap fork on bowl rim so that the excess chocolate can drip off, then let harden on wax paper.
Once set, place on serving tray or store in covered container
White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
(You will need wax paper)
1 Box of Ritz crackers
Peanut butter (smooth)
White chocolate bark
Place a dollop of peanut butter between 2 crackers making a sandwich. Make the sandwich so that the flat side of the cracker is on the outside. Do this with the entire box of crackers.
Melt chocolate bark per package directions in a bowl big enough that you can dip the sandwiches in.
Dip sandwiches in melted chocolate with fork, tapping fork on bowl rim allowing excess chocolate to drip off, place on wax paper to harden.
Once set, place on serving tray or store in covered container
Onion Dip (hot)
2 Cups of sliced onions (Vidalia or Spanish or a mixture of both)
2 Cups of shredded Swiss
2 Cups of Mayo
Mix together in oven proof casserole dish and bake in preheated oven on 350 for 20-30 minutes. You want the top to be brown and bubbly.
Serve warm with pita chips and/or tortilla chips.
Three recipes using three ingredients which I assure you will get you rave reviews.
