Saturday, I spent most of the day working out in the yard. My legs feel as if I have done squats and deep knee bends constantly for 6 hours! Even though I had lunch (at 3:00 p.m.) and even though my stomach was full, my mouth had the munchies by 4:00 p.m.! I wanted a treat to eat!
Since my body was weary, I didn’t have the energy nor the desire to make something elaborate.
I instantly thought of a recipe that our youngest son got from a class he took in the seventh grade. Our family has enjoyed the recipe over the years so I thought that I would share it here. Not only does it taste yummy, it uses only 4 ingredients that I normally have on hand and it is super easy to make.
Peanut Butter Treats
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Bring the corn syrup and sugar to a boil. Remove from the heat. Add the peanut butter and stir until it is well mixed. Pour mixture over the Rice Krispies. Drop by teaspoon on waxed paper. Let cool. Eat.
See? Isn’t that easy?
This is a recipe that you can make with your grandchildren. Since it is quick, they can eat the fruits of their labors in a short time.
Now, pardon me while I head off to the kitchen to make a treat.
Bon appetit!
