Summer Sweets!

I like to do ALOT of baking in the summertime, and these next two recipes have been VERY popular with my friends and family this summer!! They are both quick and easy to make, and only require a few ingredients! I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!!

Spray 9x9 baking pan with Pam.

Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter.

Reese's Treats 

What you need:

1 cup white sugar

1 cup corn syrup

1 1/3 cup peanut butter

4 1/2 cups Rice Krispies Cereal

8 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, chopped

1/3 cup chocolate chips 

In a large sauce pan, melt sugar, corn syrup and peanut butter until combined and smooth.

Remove from heat.

Quickly add the cereal and stir to combine thoroughly.

Line a baking sheet with wax paper and scoop tablespoons of mixture onto the baking sheet.

Let cool and ENJOY!

I made a big batch of these treats a few weeks ago and gave some as a little gift to a fellow peanut butter lover!! She loved them! And I mmmay have eaten a few ton of them along the way as well...

Happy Summer Baking!!
