1/2 cup butter, softened (no substitutes)
1/4 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 Tbl brown sugar
3/4 cup miniature chocolate chips
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
Graham Crackers
~In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla until fluffy

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 8oz packages cream cheese
8 oz Montery Jack or Cheddar cheese
2 – 3 stalks chopped celery (optional)
1 16oz bottle Ranch Dressing
1 12oz bottle hot sauce
~Boil chicken breasts, cool slightly, shred and set aside
~Preheat oven to 350.
~In 9 x 13 baking pan, combine the shredded chicken with the entire bottle of hot sauce (for less heat add only 1/2 the bottle). Spread to make an even layer
~In saucepan, combine the cream chese and ranch dressing over medium heat until smooth. Pour evenly over the chicken.
~Sprinkle with the chopped celery and shredded cheese.
~Bake uncovered for 30 – 40 minutes or until bubbly (watch that top does not get brown)
~Let stand for 10 minutes
~Serve hot or warm with tortilla chips
~Alternate cook method – prepare as directed but instead of placing in 9 x 13 pan in layers, combine all ingredients in crock pot, stir together and allow to cook until heated through.
**The longer this sits, the hotter it becomes**

1 lb Italian Sausage
1 lb Chorizo Sausage
5 cans RoTel
6 packages cream cheese
~Place cream cheese in crok pot and allow to melt, checking & stirring often
~Meanwhile, fry sausage (you can use alternate types of sausge depending on preference – chorizo will make the dip hot/spicy), drain and set aside
~Once cream cheese is melted, add RoTel and mix thoroughly. Allow to “cook” 10 minutes
~Add sausge, stirring well and allow to “cook” for another 30 – 45 minutes
~Serve with tortilla chips.
You can adjust the quantity of the recipe – general rule is 1 more package of cream cheese than cans of RoTel. Meat quantity is adjusted to preference.
