Peanut Butter Crunch Truffles

-

I remember these from when I was a young girl at home. My Mom always made delicious Christmas treats much to the delight of all of us!! The original recipe does not have Rice Krispies in it. If my memory serves me correctly (and this is not something to set in stone ☺) it was after I was married that I found a recipe that had the Rice Krispies in it and I haven't made them without since. They add a delightful crunch with all the sweetness.

2 sticks butter, softened
2 cups peanut butter, room temperature
½ teaspoon salt
4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
3 - 4 cups powdered sugar
melted chocolate for dipping

Mix peanut butter, butter, and salt in a mixer bowl.


 Stir in some of the powdered sugar,


 Add rice Krispies cereal.

                                                                    

Add more of the powdered sugar until you have a nice handling consistency. Using a cookie scoop (size 80 or 100) drop them onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Set in a cool place till they are firm before dipping them in melted chocolate. Return to baking sheet until chocolate is completely set before storing them in an airtight container. My favorite of these are the ones dipped in white chocolate.

Enjoy!

Be Blessed!

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
