CopyCat Del Taco Chicken Tacos

Living in Arizona for 13 years of my adolescent life I grew up loving Del Taco. My parents would get take out there often. My sister, Michelle, that was her favorite taco out. If we did take out one night, Michelle always wanted Del Taco over anything else. She loves the chicken tacos. Now that I live in Ohio, Del Taco is not really out here. I have found 1 or 2 but they are some distance away from us. So, I decided to try and make that for my Sunday Family Movie night pick. Tonight, is my pick and I drew Mexican food so why not give it a try.  Marinade: 3 Large Chicken (I used thin chicken breast), diced 1 Lime, juiced 1 tbsp Taco Seasoning  1 tbsp Soy Sauce 1 tsp Garlic Powder 1 tsp Onion Powder 1 tsp Chicken Bouillon Powder 1/4 tsp Paprika Place all ingredients above into a ziplock, shake well and marinade for 30 minutes to an hour. I found the longer the better flavor.  White Sauce: 1 cup Mayo 1 Lime, juiced Whisk together in a bowl until smooth, set aside until ready for assembly.

Christmas Crockpot Candy

Making candy in my crockpot is a long time Christmas favorite. Kailee and I absolutely love getting into the kitchen and making our own candy with small amounts of ingredients.  The hardest item to ever find is the white almond bark, so typically I have to look at like 5 stores before I find one. Wal-Mart will typically keep this on hand (it is however not called white almond bark it is called vanilla coating chocolate). All our church friends and family love when we gift them these; they always ask for more! It is a very popular candy. We can never make enough for the church bake sales either; as it goes so fast. 
You Will Need:
1 Bag Peanut Butter Chips
2 Cups Chocolate Chips (I use milk chocolate)
1 Container Peanuts 
1 pkg Melting Chocolate (white)

Peanuts into crockpot first then layer the rest of the ingredients. You can top these with festive sprinkles, but I did not have any organic/natural dyed ones at this time. 

Place paper towel under the lid of the crockpot to keep condensation from dripping into the chocolate.
