Super Bowl Snacks

This past weekend was the super bowl, which was an awesome excuse to make delicious corn dip and some pretty fantastic cookies! My mom got the recipe a couple years ago from a friend and it was an instant favorite in our house. I made the dip Saturday, it is always best to make it the night before you will be eating it so all the flavors can really mix together. The recipe can be found here. It is probably the easiest thing in the world to make! Last week Sean sent me a link to some cookies he found so Sunday morning I made smores cookies which were a perfect mix of all the traditional smores flavors without the camp fire!

Corn Dip

You take all the ingredients, drain them and dump them in a bowl!

Mix it all together, let it sit overnight in the fridge and serve with Fritos Scoops!

 

This picture really does not do the dip justice, the lighting was all funky, it is actually a delicious creamy white bowl full of heaven!

Before I go into the cookies here are a couple pictures of the canisters we picked up from Ikea around Christmas time, I LOVE them. I originally wanted them for keeping my baking ingredients in..

but then I decided I also wanted them for all of our pasta! We do not have much pantry space so we decided to get a book shelf with doors from Ikea. The top half of the door is glass so we could not really put our pantry items on the top half. I did not want to lose all that space so I thought if the pasta was displayed it could be pretty and practical! The bottom half of the doors are solid so it added a ton of storage space for us.

Now to the cookies!!! I was doing a balancing act of laundry (walking to and from the laundry room in the rain), making cookies, dealing with a cat who acts like we never spend any time with him and skyping with my awesome parents.. so I kind of sucked at taking pictures of the first steps... but essentially you take a rolling pin to some graham crackers to get crumbs, mix everything up (try not to eat half a bowl of dough...its yummy)

 

Plop them on the pan and cook for 7 minutes then take them out..

 

stick a few mini marshmallows and chocolate chunks into the cookies... 

Stick them back in the oven for a couple minutes and you have awesome cookies!! I took these to a super bowl party where they were deep frying EVERYTHING. I'm not going to lie, these suckers deep fried took it to an entirely new level of awesome...

 

 Later this week I am going to be attempting to make hot wings and will make sure to post the pictures!
