Copycat Specialty Classic Hot Buffalo Chicken (Like Domino's)

"My hubby and I love to order boneless chicken wings to eat with our pizza on the weekends or to eat while watching football.  One of our new favorites is the Specialty Classic Hot Buffalo Chicken from Domino's.  I came up with our own version and it's pretty darn delicious if I do say so myself!  This chicken appetizer would be a perfect addition to your Super Bowl menu this year!" 

6 Frozen Breaded Chicken Strips, prepared according to package directions (We use Foster Farms brand.)
1/3 cup Buffalo Wing Sauce
1/4 cup Ranch Dressing
1/3 cup Feta Cheese, crumbled
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
Bleu Cheese Dressing for dipping

Prepare chicken strips according to package directions.  Chop chicken into bite-size chunks.  Toss chicken chunks in buffalo wing sauce until fully coated.  Place sauce-covered chicken onto a cookie sheet that has been sprayed well with non-stick cooking spray.  Drizzle chicken with ranch dressing.  Combine feta, cheddar and mozzarella cheeses and sprinkle on top.  Bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.  Serve with bleu cheese dressing for dipping.

I Can't Believe It's Not Rum...Hot Buttered Rum Mix

"I love warm drinks in the winter time, especially when it's freezing outside.  They are so comforting and drinking them warms you from the inside out.  One of my favorite drinks, especially around the holidays, is a Hot Buttered Rum.  This recipe is a non-alcoholic version and the mix can be stored in the refrigerator so that you can whip up a warm, comforting drink anytime that you want to relax and warm up.  Of course a warm drink wouldn't be complete without a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkling of nutmeg on top.  Mix yourself some up today and ENJOY!"  

Hot Buttered Rum Mix
1 stick or 1/2 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon rum extract*
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Mix all ingredients together until completely combined.  Store in the refrigerator in a covered container. 

To prepare a drink:

Mix 1-2 Heaping Tablespoons of mix (depends on your taste-My husband and I like it with 2 Tablespoons) with 12 ounces of HOT water until mix is dissolved.  Top with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with desired amount of nutmeg.
