Rainy Day

On rainy days, Ellie and I like to make delicious things to eat. We like to make delicious things to eat on sunny days, windy days, Thursdays and any other day ending in “y.” But that’s beside the point.

This is a delicious thing to eat.

Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. corn syrup (I heard that brown rice syrup works too.)

Put these in a sauce pan over medium heat and stir it every now and then. When it boils and is bubbly all over the surface, take it off the heat and stir in

1/2 c. peanut butter

It will now look delicious. Put

3 c. of Rice Krispies (or puffy rice cereal of your choice)
1 c. of chocolate chips (optional)

in a big enough bowl to stir. If you would like the chocolate chips to maintain their integrity as chocolate chips, don’t do what I did.

oh my

This will melt the chocolate chips. Not a bad thing, just not as attractive.

Leave the chocolate chips until later if you don’t want them melted. Stir it all up. Once it’s cooled off a little bit, throw in the chips (if you haven’t already) and stir gently. Then dump the sticky mess into a greased 8×8 pan and mash it all down firmly.

Wait an hour or two for it to set up.

Slice and eat.

snack time

And eat and eat.

    You really, really shouldn’t have posted this! I didn’t know, I didn’t look away in time….now I have to back to the grocery and get Rice Krispy’s….sigh….:-)

    Mmmm….can’t wait to make these. Will have to do it without a cute little helper like Ellie, though.

    Am I off on my dates? I was thinking Dish Tag Rag sign-ups were at 9:00 this morning.

    Doh. Ignore my previous question about the dish tag race. I realize now, in my pre-first-cup-of-coffee-of-the-day haze, I looked at the dates wrong. Now, back to drooling over those Rice Krispie treats. ;-ΓƒΕΎ

    I remember the days of having my own cute lil’ helper in the kitchen, and wouldn’t take for them. Ya’all have fun! πŸ˜‰

    Those look amazing! I’m going to try them out this week. I am so excited that they don’t have marshmallows in them…they have the potential to be vegan. πŸ™‚
