Missed Christmas Crack? No worries! Whip up this easy Saltine Toffee for New Year’s! 4 ingredients, 15 mins, and a sprinkle of fun. 🎉🍫

For this recipe, I used my your Stone Bar Pan, Icing Spatula, and Slice ‘N Serve:

Sheet Pan Dinners

This pan is just the right size for packaged brownie mixes and ooey-gooey bar cookie mixes, biscuits, sheet pan dinners, chicken, frozen foods, crispy pizza, or reheating leftovers that are just as good or better than day one. Because the unglazed cooking surface draws moisture away, everything cooks consistently and turns out light and crispy.

Natural Clay Cookware

Our unglazed stoneware is made with our new StoneFusion material making it our strongest and most durable stoneware yet. You can pre-heat, broil, and even put it in the dishwasher. Each piece features a ribbon pattern, so you can easily distinguish it from your original unglazed stones. Like all our stones, you can use it to make your favorite baked goods, frozen foods, or reheated leftovers that are just as good or better than day one. And it only gets better with age. A nonstick seasoning will develop as you use it—the darker it looks, the better it cooks!

Made in the USA

Ingredients

  • One sleeve of Saltine crackers (@ 35 crackers)
  • One cup unsalted butter
  • One cup brown sugar
  • 12-ounces semisweet chocolate chips (Ghirardelli/Guittard preferred)

Topping

  • Sprinkles OR
  • Chopped pecans or almonds

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F/200⁰C .

Place crackers in a single layer on the Stone Bar Pan.

Bring the butter and brown sugar to a boil, and continue boiling for 3 minutes, or until thermometer reads 265°F/129⁰C.

Remove from heat and pour over crackers, and use the Icing Spatula to carefully spread toffee mixture evenly all over.

Bake for five minutes.

Remove the stone from the oven, then pour chocolate chips all over the crackers. 

As the stone retains heat, the chocolate will begin to melt.  Use the Icing Spatula to evenly cover the crackers.

Add sprinkles to the chocolate OR chopped pecans or almonds if using.  Let cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate or freeze for another hour.

Use the Slice ‘N Serve to cut into pieces. Enjoy!

Notes

This recipe is very forgiving with MOST ingredients!
– switch to salted butter for a saltier flavor
– use dark brown sugar OR light brown, whatever you have or prefer!
– We used sprinkles ONLY due to a nut allergy (we were gifting some of this recipe). You can use your favorite nits, sea salt, or holiday candies for a fun and festive  topping twist!
DON’T – use cheaper chocolate chips, as they do not melt very well. For this recipe use the good stuff such as Ghirardelli or Guittard.

Cool down this summer with our 3-ingredient Lemon Berry Popsicles! 🍓🍋🫐 Just lemonade, fresh strawberries, and blueberries—simple, refreshing, and perfect for hot days!

For this Pampered Chef recipe, I used one of my favorite summer products, the Quicksicle Maker, along with the Cup Slicer to slice the strawberries.

Quicksicle Maker

Make Ice Pops in 8 Minutes

Make your own custom frozen treats in as little as 8 minutes in our Quicksicle Maker®! The quick-freezing technology in the base lets you make up to three consecutive rounds. The high walls keep spills contained, and the removal key makes it easy to remove your finished quicksicles. It’s ideal for families with kids, because the crosshatch pattern on the sticks keeps quicksicles in place, and the handles are easy for kids to hold. The best part? You can use your own ingredients—like your favorite juices, smoothies, or flavored milks—for healthier, allergen-free frozen treats.

Product Details

  • Includes the Quicksicle Maker, six sticks, and removal key
  • Base is 4½” x 8¼” x 4¾” (12 cm x 21 cm x 12.5 cm)
  • The high walls help keep spills contained
  • Removal key makes it easy to remove finished quicksicles
  • The crosshatch pattern keeps quicksicles on the sticks
  • Stick handles are easy for kids to hold

Cup Slicer

Snacking Made Simple

Slice fresh fruits and veggies fast with the Cup Slicer. Just put your food on a cutting board and place the Cup Slicer, which features five stainless steel serrated blades, above the food. Then, push it down until all your food is sliced. Pour your freshly sliced food into your cereal, a fry pan, or a bowl. And when you’re done using it, run it through the dishwasher and place the blade cover on it for safe storage.

With the Cup Slicer, you can slice up strawberries, bananas, grape tomatoes, mushrooms, or hard-boiled eggs for a quick snack. It’s a great tool for parents!

Use it to make homemade salads, stir-fries, fruit salads, and healthy cereal add-ins without all the time-consuming prep work.

    Craving a summer BBQ classic? Try our easy Pressure Cooker Baked Beans from scratch! Bursting with flavor and ready in no time. Perfect for those sunny days! 🌞🍽️

    For this recipe, I used my Deluxe Multi Cooker:

    Deluxe Multi Cooker

    Pressure Cooker, Sous Vide Cooker, Slow Cooker, Yogurt Maker, and Sterilizer

    Our pressure cooker offers so many ways to get a delicious meal on the table with minimal effort and perfect results, every time. In addition to quick cooking—fast, flavorful meals cooked up to 70% faster than other methods even from frozen—and no-fuss slow cooking so it does it thing while you’re doing yours, you can sous vide, the secret to restaurant-quality steaks, fish, and more. With sous vide, you pick the temperature, and it cooks to the exact doneness you love, every time! No more undercooked centers and overcooked outsides. After your food reaches your perfect doneness, it can stay put for up to two hours without overcooking, giving you lots of wiggle room for serving. Plus, there is a yogurt function so you can make homemade yogurt with just two ingredients and less than 5 minutes of hands-on time, and you can even sterilize bottles and utensils. All of this without ever turning on the oven!

    Confident Cooking

    With 16 preprogrammed settings at your fingertips, you can cook everything from meat, rice, and beans to desserts minus the guesswork. Some added features include an indicator that shows at-a-glance progress of preheating, cooking, and warming so you always know the status of what you’re making and two lid rest slots on the back so you can securely rest the lid on the Deluxe Multi Cooker instead of your counter. The steam release button is safely positioned to keep your hands away from any steam and the outside of the unit stays cool even while in use.

    Product Details

    6-qt. (5.6-L) capacity; 13″ x 15″ x 13″ (33 cm x 38 cm x 33 cm)

    Ingredients

    For the Beans

    • 8 cups water
    • 1-pound dry navy beans, rinsed and picked through
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 6 ounces salt pork, diced
    • 6 ounces bacon, cut into small pieces
    • 1 small onion, diced
    • ½ cup apple cider vinegar

    For the Sauce

    • 1 cup water
    • ⅓ cup molasses
    • ¼ cup ketchup
    • ¼ cup brown sugar
    • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

    Turn on the Deluxe Multi Cooker and select the SEAR function. Heat olive oil until shimmering, 2 to 3 minutes. Add salt pork, bacon, and onion; cook until fat begins to render, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar and scrape any browned bits off the bottom. Turn the Deluxe Multi Cooker off.

    For the sauce, whisk together molasses, ketchup, brown sugar, maple syrup, mustard, and water in a small bowl.

    Return cooked beans to the pot along with the molasses mixture. Gently stir to combine. Lock the lid. Select CUSTOM/HIGH PRESSURE; set timer to 25 minutes, press and hold button to start.

    When the timer is up, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then press the steam button to release the rest of the pressure; hit the cancel button.

    Last year, I made Cherry Puff Pastry Pies in the air fryer, and they were a game changer! I decided to try them with blueberries (changed some of the other ingredients as well) and these were superb.

    For this recipe, I used my Pampered Chef Deluxe Air Fryer:

    Ingredients

    • 10 oz fresh blueberries
    • 1/2 c. granulated sugar
    • 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    • 1 1/2 tbsp. cornstarch
    • 17.3-ounce frozen puff pastry
    • 1 large egg, beaten
    • coarse sugar, for garnish

    Instructions

    In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat until blueberries begin to release their juices, 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Meanwhile, mix cornstarch and lemon juice together in a small bowl until combined. Stir in the lemon zest, along with the cornstarch slurry into blueberry mixture, then bring to a gentle boil, stirring often. Once boiling, remove from heat. Let cool completely.

    Make the Hand Pies

    Cut puff pastry sheet into 6 rectangles. Spoon 3 tablespoons of cooled blueberry mixture onto each of the 3 bottom rectangles.

    Place the top rectangles over the blueberry filling, lining up the edges as best you can. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal shut. Repeat this entire step with 2nd pastry sheet so you have a total of 6 pastry pies.

    In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Brush tops of pastry pies with egg wash, then sprinkle with coarse sugar. Chill pies in the refrigerator for at least 25 minutes.

    Air Fry at 360⁰ F/180⁰ C for 12-14 minutes, switching trays at the halfway mark. Let cool on rack until ready to serve.

    Notes

    Tips for Perfect Hand Pies:
    Thaw the Puff Pastry Properly: Make sure to thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions.
    This will make them easier to handle and ensure they puff up beautifully in the air fryer.
    Don’t Overfill: Be careful not to overfill the pies, as the filling can leak out during cooking
    Seal Well: Use a fork to crimp the edges securely to prevent the filling from escaping.
    Experiment with Fillings: This recipe works well with various fruit fillings, so feel free to get creative!
