I have done it! The slow cooker brown sugar Kielbasa bites recipe that I was dying to try ever since. I used to make it using a skillet but I thought I tried the slow cooker version. It may not have the crunch unlike the skillet version but it does not disappoint. Turned out great like what I was expecting it to be.

I’m a fan of slow cooker recipes. They take time to cook but the result is to die for. And I am a mom so I get to do other things while the slow cooker does its thing. I work at home, so I juggle work and chores every day. When I first learned about slow cooker recipes I fell in love immediately. My kids love Brown Sugar Kielbasa Bites. I make this almost every week. They love the skillet version so much because they are crunchy but when they tasted the slow cooker kielbasa they light up like fire! It’s the best appetizer, flavorful, delicious, and with a little kick because of the chili powder. This 4-ingredients kielbasa bites recipe is very easy to make, simple, and a guaranteed hit whenever we have guests. It’s an amazing appetizer or paired with rice for an easy dinner.

written by Rebecca

If you love no-bake recipes like I do, this is for you. Easy and quick to make no-bake Preacher Cookies that have time long history. These simple no-bake cookies are whip up super quickly, perfect for when you have unannounced guests coming over. The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is my favorite and the oats give these cookies substance and a distinct texture. I like how pretty these cookies look with chocolate drizzled over the top. What are you waiting for? Grab a piece and satisfy your sweet tooth with these guilt-free No-Bake Preacher Cookies.

INGREDIENTS

3 cups quick-cooking oats, uncooked

2 cups of sugar

1 cup peanut butter

1 stick + 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, divided

½ cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

½ cup of chocolate chips

How to make No-Bake Preacher Cookies

Step 1: Place the oats in a large bowl. Set aside. Then, use a parchment paper to line a baking sheet. Although, a flat surface like maybe a countertop works, too.

Step 2: In a saucepan, melt 1 stick of butter on medium-high heat. Stir constantly until the butter is melted. Let it boil for a minute and remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until incorporated.

Step 3: Drizzle the butter mixture over the reserved oats and mix in the milk and sugar. Stir until well combined.

Step 4: Ladle a teaspoon full of batter and place onto the baking sheet. Press down the batter to flatten.

Step 5: Place the chocolate chips with a tablespoon of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe dish. Stir every 20 seconds until the chocolate is fully melted.

Step 6: Drizzle the chocolate over the cookies with a spoon. And let the chocolate set before serving. You can chill the cookies in the fridge for an hour, then transfer to a serving plate or keep in an airtight container.

  • ½ cup of chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: Place the oats in a large bowl. Set aside. Then, use a parchment paper to line a baking sheet. Although, a flat surface like maybe a countertop works, too.

Step 2: In a saucepan, melt 1 stick of butter on medium-high heat. Stir constantly until the butter is melted. Let it boil for a minute and remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until incorporated.

Step 3: Drizzle the butter mixture over the reserved oats and mix in the milk and sugar. Stir until well combined.

Step 4: Ladle a teaspoon full of batter and place onto the baking sheet. Press down the batter to flatten.

Step 5: Place the chocolate chips with a tablespoon of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe dish. Stir every 20 seconds until the chocolate is fully melted.

Step 6: Drizzle the chocolate over the cookies with a spoon. And let the chocolate set before serving. You can chill the cookies in the fridge for an hour, then transfer to a serving plate or keep in an airtight container.

written by Rebecca

Amazeballs! From pie to balls – these Pecan Pie Balls are super delicious, soft with a nutty flavor. Have it with a splash of bourbon or a substitute for a non-alcoholic version.

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 cups pecans, toasted and chopped

1 cup graham crackers, crushed (vanilla wafers, Oreos can be subbed if you do not like graham crackers)

1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

1/2 teaspoon salt (if you can not handle the sodium, don’t use it!)

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1/4 cup bourbon, brandy or spiced rum. non-alcoholic version: use almond extract, rum extract, or any other that may suit your taste. add a little water/juice to equal the liquid amount.

1 teaspoon vanilla

7 oz dark chocolate bark. If you prefer white chocolate go for it!

1 teaspoon coarse sea salt (optional)

How to make Pecan Pie Balls

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the pecans, graham crackers, brown sugar, and salt.

Step 2: Drizzle the maple syrup, pour the bourbon, and add in the vanilla.

Step 3: Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands. You can substitute the bourbon with some almond extract for a non-alcoholic version. Or you can try to use a non-alcohol rum flavoring.

Step 4: When the ingredients are incorporated, scoop a tablespoon-size, and form a ball. Do this for the remaining mixture.

Step 5: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place the balls on the cookie sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours. Although the balls are already made, roll them again with your slight water damped hands to ensure the balls are smooth before you dip them in chocolates.

Step 6: Meanwhile, as per package instruction, melt the chocolate bark in a double boiler or microwave.

Step 7: Take out the frozen balls and dip each ball into the melted chocolate bark. And place them back on the cookie sheet.

Step 8: Sprinkle with a little sea salt before the chocolates hardened. Although, this is optional but highly recommended.

Step 9: Serve them as is or freeze first for t least 15 minutes. These are great when frozen. Enjoy!
