Rice Krispie Squares: so easy to make, but so easy to mess up. I sadly was only introduced to them in the past year, when my coworker brought them in to the office… LIFE CHANGING! Yeah, really. Because before then I’ve only tried the packaged versions, which if you’ve tried the freshly made ones, can’t really hold a candle. So in my first few attempts to make them, I made sure that it was gooey and not dry, with some melty marshmallows in each square.

Now the real key to this recipe, and my coworker Liz would highly recommend, is to add a bit of vanilla. I did experiment with more expensive vanilla extract and regular vanilla and couldn’t taste the difference at all!

The recipe after the jump is my tried and true recipe, having made over 4 batches of them for our bake sale at the office. It’s pretty much perfection! The aluminum foil lining is a MUST to easily remove your squares from the pan.

nachos, snack, superbowl

Oh maaaan. These nachos were really, really legit. I inhaled these… Couldn’t stop eating them!!!

Crisp tortilla chips with beef that had just the right amount of heat, plus a mix of melted sharp cheddar and monterey jack and finally topped with fresh pico de gallo and sliced avocados! My mouth is watering just typing this up. These are definitely the perfect Superbowl snack!

You really need to DOUBLE layer your nachos. Yup, scatter a bit of tortilla chips, cheese and beef to a baking tray, then do that all over again. Really makes a huge difference in getting cheese and beef to most chips.

For this recipe I ditched the Tostitos for something a bit different, the brand I picked up was called La Vista Nachos. So delicious and added a bit more authentic flavour. I also made my own taco seasoning, super easy stuff if you have the ingredients in your pantry. Also passed on the mozzarella and used monterey jack, which tasted better when the nachos cooled down (vs the hard mozzarella). Perfect to go with a glass of Coke – seriously, water doesn’t work with this.

I love butter tarts!! They’re so delicious, sweet, and gooey. The best ones I’ve had by far was on a road trip to Port Elgin – my boyfriend and I passed by a small town called Fergus and picked some up.

Man, they were so good, the crust was so buttery and the filling was runny, and filled with pecans. Obviously, I tried recreating this yummy Canadian treat. The results were SO GOOD! And it’s super easy to make too.

chicken, fried, snack

If you’re like me and you love drinking bubble tea, you may recognize this dish. Taiwanese popcorn chicken is one of my favourite Asian snacks. I LOVE this dish, I am so into everything about it’s fried, crunchy goodness. Not to mention it’s super easy to make.

I’m drooling just thinking about it: juicy, savory, with just a hint of sweetness. The fried Thai basil leaves take it to another level!!!

butter, snack, strawberry

Damn you strawberry shortcake! You evil, buttery demon.

One moment I was eating it, and then 5 seconds later the entire strawberry shortcake was GONE.

I blame it on it’s lightness. And most probably because it tastes like a cross between a slightly crunchy biscuit and pillowy soft yellow cake. READ: butter (my favourite).

That, combined with the whisky vanilla bean whipped cream AND the fresh handpicked Ontario strawberries… I have no words.

Having never made strawberry shortcake before, this is a perfect summer treat!!! Make this while strawberries are in season!
