CHRISTMAS CRACK

What a strange name for a treat, but you have to try it! I sampled some our daughter received as a gift, and then just had to make my own.
It’s awesome to have a bag or three of this treat at a party, as all your guests (adults and kids) will gobble this delicious “Christmas Crack” without knowing they finished everything and would ask for more!

Dry Ingredients:
1 x 395 g box Honey Nut Chex cereal
1 x 550 g box Original Shreddies cereal
200 g shredded coconut
200 g pecan nuts
200 g golden raisons
Syrup:
375 g butter (3 sticks of butter)
1½ cups sugar
1 x 500 ml bottle – 2 cups golden corn syrup

Combine all the dry ingredients in a very large mixing bowl. Mix to combine.
In a large sauce pan, cook syrup ingredients to “soft ball” stage. Keep stirring constantly. Once its cooking, cook for ± 5 minutes.
I divided the dry mixture into two large trays and then poured ½ the syrup mixture over one tray and mixed it through till well coated, then repeated the process with the second tray.
Once all done, I combined all ingredients into the one tray and continued to mix and make sure the syrup is evenly and well mixed through all the dry ingredients.
Let it sit in the one tray for ± 5-10 minutes, stirring once or twice to prevent clumping.
Now, return half again back to the empty tray as its easier to stir a bit more. Do this every now and again to ensure that you do not end up with lumps, of ‘crack’ as it should be separate pieces of cereal just coated with the syrup.
Stir it around occasionally to prevent clumping, but be careful that you do not brake the cereal into small pieces. Once properly cold, store in an airtight container.

This for sure does not resemble any existing recipe I found and originally looked at.
TRIED AND TESTED

FRIED BACON WRAPPED BANANA BITES
Wrap the bananas in raw bacon.
The secret is to deep fry them in when oil is hot enough, fresh clean oil preferably, when oil is not on par it can get too fatty.
It’s a quick in and out, you judge it by the colour of the bacon.
Enjoy

LEKKER APPEL PEUSELHAPPIE

Ek sny gewoonlik ‘n paar appels in blokkies, sit water by en suiker en druk in mikrogolf vir n paar minute tot gaar. Koel die mengsel af. Ek koop velle deeg, sny dit in die helfte, gooi bietjie kaneel oor. Dan skep ek genoeg van die vulsel in n lyn in middel van die 1/2 vel, draai toe – vir pasteitjies en sny so in3 of 4. Verf met eier en water mengsel en bak in die oond teen 200•C vir so 12 tot15 minute.

(Tip Teresa Louw: Ek smeer ook n paar met vegemite/marmite en ‘n velletjie kaas dan het ek southappies ook.)
