Caramel Party Mix

-

When I think of party mix there are three recipes that come to my mind right away. The original party mix, the white chocolate party mix, and then this one. At our house party mix is only made for Holidays or special occasions. We are getting ready to spend the weekend with my husbands family and we usually each bring a snack to share so this year I decided we would bring this one. My sister Karen introduced me to this mix a few years ago. Not sure if I should thank her or not ☺ but it is yummy, and easy! And the list of ingredients is not long - another plus in my opinion.

Here is what ya need:
1 box Crispix cereal
1 box Honeycomb
1 bag thin pretzel stix

Salted peanuts

1½ cups butter
1½ cups brown sugar

Combine the first 3 ingredients in a large bowl.

In a saucepan combine butter and brown sugar and melt over medium heat. Bring to a rolling boil;


 then pour over cereal mixture in bowl and toss to coat.



Pour onto two large baking sheets that are lined with parchment paper -


 and bake @325° for 10 minutes.

Allow to cool then add peanuts.

Enjoy!

    That seems easy enough. My son loves party mixes, so I'll have to try this one soon.

    You're right! That was so simple. Simple is good. Yummy and simple is even better. ;)

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!

Black Raspberry Vanilla Milkshake

PERFECT FOR A  WARM SUMMER DAY! I know another Black Raspberry recipe. I promise to start eating and thinking of other food/things soon but indulge me just a bit longer. I had some black raspberry juice in the fridge and in all my warm, humid berry pickings I would think of cool refreshing things to make with them and decided I need one of these. I was not disappointed! It's delicious!! 3-4 scoops Vanilla Ice Cream 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract 2-3 lg. serving tablespoons Seedless Raspberry Juice Milk, just enough to make it blendable Mash the berries and press through a sieve. Discard seeds. Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.                                                                     aaahhh, so yummy!! Be Blessed!
