"52 Church PotLuck Dishes"!

A list of something NEW worthy of being shown off at a neighborhood BYODish (Bring Your Own Dish) Party, a Family special occasion dinner, Any Big Holiday Gathering or of course that glorious day when you bring a dish to share with your Church family...


Ages ago, literally almost a half century ago I was listening to our pastor talking about a PotLuck Dinner. It happened to be scheduled around a church work day when we were expected to weed, polish and do general cleaning and maintenance around the church (you know, back in the day when there were no no-wax floors and church pews smelled of Old English furniture polish). I am of course paraphrasing, but as I recall the pastor said,

"A potluck, like a church requires work. At a potluck everyone is expected to contribute.. At a church no one should come empty handed and no one should leave unfed".

I will confess that in my youth I brought more store bought plastic spoons and forks than I ever brought covered dishes and crock pots of fresh made love and caring delights. But now that I have become a hobbyist cook, I occasionally am reminded of those days and people from my youth. I reminded and I do wish that I could drop a dish of some new creation on those old tables at my fondly remembered Liberty Baptist Church. Tables covered with newspapers and loaded with God's bounty prepared with love and caring... Enjoy

FAQs

Can you freeze Scotch a ruse? ›

Yes, these cereal bars can be frozen in a freezer bag or in an airtight container. If you can't fit them in a single layer, be sure to place a piece of parchment paper between layers so they don't stick together.

What are Scotcharoos made of? ›

Scotcheroos are a no-bake cereal bar similar to rice krispie treats. Replace the marshmallows and butter with sugar and peanut butter, then add a chocolate butterscotch topping. They're chewy, soft, and crispy all in one. Obviously this is a dessert you need to make today and every other day of the year.

Why are they called Scotcheroos? ›

Scotcheroos is a crispy dessert treat with origins in the United States of America. It consists of cereals based on rice or corn, peanut butter, and a decadent butterscotch-chocolate coating. Scotcheroos got their name after one of the key ingredients used in the preparation process – butterscotch.

Where are Scotcheroos from? ›

Scotcheroos are dessert bars with chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter, and Rice Krispies. The recipe was originally printed on Rice Krispies box in the mid-1960s. They are popular in the Midwestern United States, especially Minnesota, Iowa and North Dakota.

What can I substitute for butterscotch chips? ›

Caramel chips would be a swell substitute for the butterscotch chips in the aforementioned seven-layer bars. Naturally, they would also be right at home in nearly any kind of drop cookie or blondie.

Can you substitute butterscotch chips for peanut butter chips? ›

Can I substitute the butterscotch chips for peanut butter chips? Sure! Technically they won't be scotcharoos without the butterscotch, but they'll still be delicious.

How many calories are in a Scotcheroos? ›

Nutrition information per serving: 118 calories; 4g fat; 74mg sodium; 20g carbohydrates; 1.7g protein.

How do you melt butterscotch chips on the stove? ›

A bit of fat also will help butterscotch melt more smoothly on the stove. For both kinds of chips, skip the double boiler and use a small, heavy saucepan. Be patient and use low to medium-low heat, stirring frequently.

Are rice crispy gluten free? ›

You may think that classic Kellogg's Brand Rice Krispies are gluten-free because rice is a naturally gluten-free grain, but they are made with malt flavoring. The malt is derived from barley which is a gluten-containing grain. Therefore, they are definitely NOT gluten-free!
