      • 1 cup rolled oats (100g)
      • 10g raisins
      • 25g cranberries

      • 100g yogurt
      • Water (as needed to reach the right consistency)
      • Coconut flakes (for rolling the balls)

    Directions:

      1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

      • For a crunchier texture, toast the nuts before adding them to the mix.

  • super crispy cheesy fries

    super crispy cheesy fries

    Super Crispy Cheesy Fries are a delicious, indulgent treat featuring perfectly crispy fries topped with gooey melted cheese. Here’s how you can make them at home:

    Ingredients:

    • 4 large russet potatoes
    • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
    • Salt, to taste
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
    • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese of your choice like mozzarella or Monterey Jack)
    • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
    • Freshly chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)
    • Sour cream or ranch dressing (optional, for dipping)

    Instructions:

    1. Prepare the Potatoes:

    • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
    • Wash the potatoes thoroughly, scrubbing away any dirt. Leave the skins on for extra texture and flavor.
    • Cut the potatoes into thin, even fries (about 1/4-inch thick). The thinner the fries, the crispier they will be.

    2. Soak the Potatoes (Optional for extra crispiness):

    • Soak the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, leading to crispier fries.
    • After soaking, pat the fries dry with a paper towel to remove as much moisture as possible.

    3. Season and Coat the Fries:

    • Place the dried fries on a large baking sheet.
    • Drizzle the fries with olive oil, then toss them to coat evenly.
    • Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using), and toss again to ensure even seasoning.

    4. Bake the Fries:

    • Spread the fries out in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they’re not overlapping. This helps them crisp up evenly.
    • Bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. Bake until they are golden and crispy on all sides.

    5. Add the Cheese:

    • Once the fries are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven.
    • Immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot fries. You can also add some Parmesan for extra flavor.
    • Return the fries to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    6. Serve:

    • Remove the cheesy fries from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color (optional).
    • Serve immediately with sour cream, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce.

    Tips:

    • For extra crispy fries: You can also fry the fries in hot oil instead of baking them, but this adds a bit more work. For oven-baked fries, ensure the fries are spread out in a single layer and not overcrowded.
    • Cheese options: Feel free to mix different cheeses like mozzarella for a stretchy, gooey texture or gouda for a smoky flavor.
    • Spicy option: Add jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce on top for a spicy kick.

    These Super Crispy Cheesy Fries are perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish to enjoy with burgers or sandwiches! Enjoy!

    Are you searching for a fast and tasty snack that will surely make an impression at any gathering? These delicious nougat bars are a great option. With only four simple ingredients, you can make a delicious dessert that is easy to make and enjoyable. If you’re getting ready for a party or just want a tasty snack at home, these nougat bars are a great choice.

    Ingredients you will need

    Key components:

    Small marshmallows: 2 packs (around 10-12 ounces each)

    Butter: 2 tablespoons, melted

    White chocolate chunks: 2 packs (around 12 ounces each)

    Red and green candy pieces: 1 and a half cups

    Instructions in a series of steps.

    Step 1: Get your ingredients ready.

    Get the ingredients: Begin by collecting all the items you need and making sure the marshmallows, white chocolate, and candy pieces are measured and prepared for use.

    Melt the butter: In a bowl that can go in the microwave, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. You can melt it in the microwave by heating it for 20 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until completely melted.

    Step 2: Heat the white chocolate and marshmallows until they are melted.

    Mix together the marshmallows and melted butter in a big microwave-safe bowl. Mix the marshmallows well with the butter.

    Melt the mix: Heat the marshmallow and butter mix in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each time, until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.

    Include white chocolate: Slowly mix the white chocolate chunks into the melted marshmallow mixture. Keep heating in the microwave for 15 seconds at a time, stirring well after each interval, until the white chocolate is completely melted and mixed with the marshmallow mixture.

    Step 3: Add the candy drops and mix them in.

    Add the red and green candy drops to the smooth marshmallow and white chocolate mixture by gently mixing them in. Mix until the pieces of candy are spread evenly in the mixture.

    Get the bread ready. Cover the inside of a square or rectangular baking pan with parchment paper, making sure to leave some extra hanging over the edges for easy removal later on. Put a small amount of butter or non-stick spray on the parchment paper.

    Step 4: Place and slice the nougat bars.

    Move the mix: Pour the nougat mix into the baking pan that has been prepared. Use a spatula to spread it smoothly and press it gently to make sure it is the same thickness in the whole pan.

    Cool the nougat: Put the pan in the fridge and let the nougat bars cool for at least 2 hours or until they are solid when touched.

    Cut the nougat into bars after it has hardened, and take it out of the pan by using the parchment paper that sticks out. Put it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to slice it into bars or squares.
