Kids and the husband love desserts.  

My daughter had to bring a dessert for a teachers lunch, put on by the Student Council.  I checked the box on the signup sheet to bring a dessert.  I figured she could handle carrying something simple on the bus in the morning.   She came home and told me I was to make Scotcheroos.  

I knew I needed to pick up enough supplies to make two batches. One to take to school and one to keep for the family at home.  


 

Pour six cups of rice cereal in a large bowl and set aside.


Melt 1 cup sugar with one cup of white syrup on the stove. When it begins to boil, remove from heat and stir in one cup of peanut butter

I used half a bag of chocolate chips and half of a bag of butterscotch chips and carefully melted them over the stove, on medium heat. Pour immediately over the rice mixture.

This is the part where blogging isn't so pretty.  I realized I need a picture of the scotcheroos, and this is the last piece left.

NOTES ON SCOTCHEROOS
  • You can prepare the sugar and white syrup in the microwave, cook 3 minutes, stir, 1.5 minutes, stir, and add the peanut butter.
  • Depending on how gooey you like the cereal, decrease 1/2 cup of cereal.
  • Place Scotcheroos in the refrigerator to cool faster.

Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies

Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies

Posted by Tuesday, December 16, 2014

Peanut butter and chocolate.

 These are one of my favorites.  I remember my grandma baking these all the time, especially during the week of VBS , and hoping I would see them as the cookie try was passed around!

 This makes a great cookie for any occasion, but with the different selection of Hershey Kisses, you can make this for Christmas time as well.  These go fast in our house.  Everything goes fast in our house!!

Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Pretzels

Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Pretzels

Posted by Tuesday, December 09, 2014
Let the Holiday baking begin.  I would like to start holiday baking traditions with the kids. They are so eager to help in the kitchen. They are also so eager to help taste-test!

Why not?

Sounds like a great idea to me, too!

This recipe is a no-bake recipe, it's fast, and kid-friendly!

We will work on cleaning the kitchen later!



Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Pretzels
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 Tbs softened butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Pretzels
1 bag of chocolate chips or chocolate almond bark

In mixing bowl, beat peanut butter and butter until combined. Add sugars and mix well. You should be able to roll mixture into small balls without sticking to your hands. If needed, add more powdered sugar until it is easy to roll. Take each small ball and press between two pretzels.  Melt chocolate or almond bark in microwave according to directions on package.  Dip peanut butter pretzels into the chocolate, and set on baking sheet lined with wax paper. Put into freezer for 20-30 minutes.
