Both of these are super easy to make and don't take a lot of time. Here ya go:
Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls2 1/2 cups Rice Krispy Cereal
3 cups Powdered Sugar
1 1/2 cups Creamy Peanut Butter
1/2 cup Butter (1 stick)
2 12 oz. bag of Chocolate Chips
Wooden Skewers
In a large bowl, mix cereal and sugar together. Set aside.
In a saucepan, melt PB and butter on medium heat. When it becomes liquid form, remove from heat and pour over cereal mixture. Mix well until well combined. Take mixture and form into 1 1/2 inch balls, place on a cookie sheet and put in the fridge to cool.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips. Warm in 20 second intervals until runny... about 1 minute.
Dip each PB Ball into chocolate, place on wax paper. Put in the fridge to solidify and Enjoy!
Mine didn't turn out very pretty, but they were delicious none-the-less :)
The other treat I made was called "Christmas Crack" on Pinterest. But really, it's Toffee! My first time making this and it was very delicious. Chris took some to his office and they were a big hit. Here ya go:
Terribly Terrific Toffee1 cup Unsalted Butter (not margarine!)
1 cup Brown Sugar
2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (next time I'll use Milk Chocolate... it was a little bitter for my liking)
40 Saltine Crackers
Preheat oven to 350 Degrees.
Line a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan with foil, spray with non-stick spray. Cover with one layer of crackers.
In a saucepan, melt the sugar and butter until boiling. Reduce to a simmer, uncovered, for 5-6 minutes... stir occasionally.
Pour mixture over crackers, spread to coat evenly. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the toffee becomes bubbly. Remove from oven, let sit for a few minutes.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the toffee. After about a minute, spread them evenly over toffee. Let cool, break apart, and enjoy!!!
Both of these were really good and could easily be made any time of year, not just in Winter!
