OMGS RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Line a cookie pan with aluminum foil, and spray lightly with a vegetable oil cooking spray.
• Put the almonds on a cutting board and cut the slivers into halves or thirds. Place in a 2 cup or larger bowl.
• Put the General Mills Golden Grahams Cereal in the bowl with the almonds. Stir in the Heat English Toffee Bits (also called Heath Bits ‘O Brickle Toffee Bits}.
• Place the chocolate chips in a 2 quart microwave safe bowl, melt in a microwave oven using 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until fully melted.
• Gently mix the cereal mixture into the melted chocolate chips, trying not to break up the cereal squares.
• Spoon mixture onto the tin foil in the cookie pan a tablespoon at a time and chill in the refrigerator until set (usually sets in 30 minutes in the refrigerator, but that might vary depending on the brand of chocolate you use). When set, lift clusters from the tin foil and peel it away. OR – Spread the mixture evenly over the tin foil in the cookie pan into a ½ to ¾ inch layer, chill in the refrigerator until set, then remove the layer from the pan and break into about 2 inch-square pieces.
• Store in a re-sealable container.
• Note, Graham crackers can be used instead of the General Mills Golden Graham Cereal. Use four graham cracker squares, breaking them into 1/2 to 3/4 inch pieces. Add both the pieces and the crumbs to the almonds in the bowl. The cereal is more like the original candy, but the graham crackers are also good.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a stock pot over medium-high heat. Add celery, carrot, onion, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning; cook and stir until flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Push vegetable mixture to the sides and add chicken; cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Pour enough water over the chicken to cover by 3 inches; bring to a boil. Stir, scraping the browned bits off of the bottom of the pot. Reduce heat; simmer until chicken is tender, about 1 hour. Transfer chicken and carrots to a serving plate with a large slotted spoon; let cool.
• Ladle 1/4 cup cooking liquid into a bowl; cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Mix in 2 tablespoons flour. Stir back into the pot.
• Place 2 cups flour in a large bowl; cut in shortening with 2 knives until mixture forms pea-sized bits. Mix in chilled chicken broth until dough is combined.
• Turn dough out onto a floured work surface. Knead 5 to 6 times; pat down to 1-inch thickness. Sprinkle lightly with flour; roll out to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut dough into squares with a sharp knife.
• Drop squares, in batches, into simmering cooking liquid, moving squares to the side with each addition. Partially cover pot; simmer until dumplings are firm, about 12 minutes. Separate any dumplings that stick together. Remove from heat; keep covered.
• Bone chicken; cut into bite-sized pieces and return to the pot. Chop carrot; return to the pot. Cool chicken and dumplings, about 30 minutes, before serving.
