Turtles
These are awesome and wicked simple.
Ingredients:
1 bag of pretzel snaps
1 bag of Rolos
1 bag of Pecan halves
Stack up a tray of pretzels and put a Rolo on top of each one. Put the tray in a preheated oven (350 degrees) for 3 minutes. The Rolos should be intact, but about to melt. Take the tray out of the oven and squish a halved pecan on top of each one. Place the tray in the refrigerator to cool. This is a crunchy, chewy, salty & sweet bite of awesomeness.
Caribbean Spice Wings
These are the best wings because they are made with the best sauce. If you haven’t tried any of the sauces from the allspicecafe go there now and buy them all! I usually make these with the Caribbean Spice as it is the mildest and a good warmup to non-hot sauce lovers. For a more potent batch, try either the Chipotle Garlic or the Cayenne Habanero (now with a XXX option!).
Ingredients:
3-5lbs. of fresh chicken wings
1 bottle of hot sauce from the allspicecafe
Grill the wings to perfection (this is usually a smokey endeavor as the wings are full of fat the burns off on the grill – make sure your neighbors aren’t quick to call the fire engines). Put the grilled wings into a bowl and pour in 1/2 to 1 full bottle of hot sauce (depending upon how many wings you have and how hot you want it to be). Move the wings around in the bowl with a wooden spoon until you have good sauce coverage all around. Enjoy! (and get some napkins)
