Homemade Baby Ruth Bars

  • 1 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips 
  • 1 cup peanuts
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
In microwaveable bowl, combine the peanut butter chips, milk chocolate chips, 1/2 cup corn syrup, & 2 tablespoons of butter.  Microwave for 1 minute, stirring halfway through.
Let the mixture cool for a few minutes, then stir in 1/2 cup of the peanuts.
Let the mixture cool for about 15 minutes.  Meanwhile, chop the other half of the peanuts using either a knife, food processor,or blender.
 
 
Using your hands (I like to use disposable gloves – less mess) roll into log shapes.  Cover them in the peanut pieces, & place onto a wax paper lined pan.  You can also just spoon  the candy mixture onto the wax paper instead of rolling into logs to save time.
Keep in the refrigerator until ready to eat for best texture.

Sweet Chicken Nuggets


2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 1/4 cups flour
2 TBSP powdered sugar
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
peanut oil (is best) or canola oil

In a medium bowl whisk the egg and stir in the milk. Trim any fat away from chicken. Cube chicken into bite size pieces. Place chicken in milk mixture,and cover. Let it ‘marinate’ for 2-4 hours in the fridge. This will make the chicken very nice and tender. In a gallon size resealable baggie combine flour, powdered sugar, salt and pepper. Seal and shake to combine. Place about 2 inches of oil in a medium deep pot. Over medium high heat (more towards the high side) heat oil until hot. If using a thermometer let the temperature reach 375°. If you don’t have a fancy gadget like most people, I always test my oil by dropping a few drops of water into it. You want it to sizzle and not pop too much. Adjust your heat if necessary. Using a fork or tongs remove cut chicken from milk mixture and place in the flour mixture. Seal and shake until nuggets are completely coated. Place about a 6-8 nuggets into hot oil and let them cook until golden brown, turning half way through once the edge of your chicken starts to turn white. About 1 minute each side. Always double check to see if any chicken you make is cooked through. I always just make a tiny cut to see if it’s pink. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Repeat until all nuggets are cooked. Serve with your favorite sauce! I will let you in on a secret that only my bestest friends know…I ALWAYS eat my nuggets with honey! Always.
