SUPER BOWL FESTIVITIES & GOODIES

First, YES we are foodies in case you haven't noticed by now. We are going to a Super Bowl get together at my sister in law's and we are taking a few things besides some refreshments and our wonderful company.
1) Carmel Toffee Dip- smells heavenly and taste just as good
2) Baked S'mores Pockets
3) Homemade Pimento Cheese and Tortilla Chips (Scott makes)
4) Gaucamole

I must say I try to follow recipes and do for the most part especially the first time but then I taste and if needed add things to make them better. Love to experiment in the kitchen.  I will post pics and give directions for the things I made, the desserts. Scott made the pimento cheese  &  tortilla chips while I apparently went to warm up under the electric blanket when we got back from errands and I fell asleep.

I will be updating this throughout the day on Sunday with pictures and other random things or at least that is the plan.

CARMEL TOFFEE DIP

This dip is amazing by itself and a good base for adding things, it smells heavenly while you are making it. I used the mixer and you will need a hand or stand mixer for this, it needs to be blended smooth.  You can add a variety of things in it, this time I added toffee chips aka heath bar bits, snickers would be good, peanut butter chips or reese's cups chopped up, nuts are also good but plain is just as good I just kick it up a notch.

1 8oz Cream Cheese(softened)- you can use 1/3 less fat but it will be lumpy and not look as pretty but taste the same I did that my first time making it. This time I used regular, I have also used a mix of reg and less fat.

3/4 cup Brown Sugar you can use either dark or light I have used both doesn't affect flavor I used a mix this time to get rid of some of what I have.

2 tsp Vanilla Extract

1/4 cup Toffee Bits/ candy I just dumped some in the mixing bowl, plus I will use some to garnish the top

You will combine all ingredients in mixing bowl and let mix on slow until incorporated then move to med speed for a few minutes until very smooth, scrap down the sides and beaters then mix again. The smell of this mixing is heavenly and you can't help but want to do a little taste test for quality control of course!!

Serve with graham crackers, apple slices, grapes or any fruit you can also use pretzels, basically whatever floats your boat with your candy. This mix is also the base for grape salad which is so good. Hope you enjoy:

Baked S'mores Pockets

Cresant Rolls

Chocolate Chips

Mini Marshmellows

Graham Cracker Crumbs (optional)

You put these in the cresant rolls then roll up bake according to the directions on the roll package. I will post pics Sunday when we make these as they are better fresh and warm.

the dip is in the for front and on the red tray is the s'mores. Men thought they had meat in them so you might want to make sure people know they are a dessert.

Guacamole 

the dips are in the yellow rectangles and the chips are on the purple tray.

Pimento Cheese and Homemade Tortilla Chips:

Here are the only pics I could get of these since he was almost done by the time I woke up from my hour nap, honestly it also did not occur to me first thing when I woke up either. But will post party pics later.

I had good intentions of taking photos we had the camera and plenty of time but somehow forgot until it was too late so here are some photos others took of the food. So sorry I can a test that everything was good, I didn't try the s'mores but hubby and kiddos said they were good. They would be a good treat to make and have kids help. Like I said we had good intentions but things happen and well like working with animals and kids it doesn't always go as planned.
