Easy, Easy Fruit Dip

I also made this SUPER EASY fruit dip when we had a lot of people over and everyone loved it and a few asked me how I made it. I wouldn't even call it a recipe because you really don't even do anything. All you do is mix 1 jar of marshmallow creme and 1 package of cream cheese together and that's ALL! It is really good though, especially with strawberries!

Praline Pecan Crunch

I absolutely love this stuff. Angie Fisk makes it for my dad every year at Christmas. It's very addicting. We had a group of people over a while back so I decided I would try to make it. It was great and super easy!
Here's the recipe:
1 16 oz. box Quaker Oatmeal Squares Cereal (I bought the kind that had a hint of brown sugar)
2 cups pecans (I used a little more because they're my favorite part)
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter (1 stick) melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Combine cereal & pecans in 9x13 pan. Set aside. Combine corn syrup, brown sugar & butter in bowl. Microwave on high 1 1/2 minutes. Stir. Microwave again 1/2 minute to 1 1/2 minutes until boiling. Stir in vanilla & baking soda. Pour over cereal mixture. Stir to coat evenly. Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour stirring every 20 minutes. Spread on baking sheet to cool. Once cool, break into pieces.
