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!

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
