Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats

Rice Krispies Treats have been around as long as comic books and the Wizard of Oz. That’s 87 years! Whether or not you’ve been a fan, you have to at least give Peanut Butter and Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats a try! My grandsons don’t love the original recipe, but when we made this version together, they were on board! Seriously, these are so good!

What’s so good about this recipe is that there’s no baking required, and they come together in less than 30 minutes! We had so much fun making these together. They made a lot, so after I sent some home with the boys, we had plenty to take to camp for me to share with some of the counselors.

Homemade Bisquick

Bisquick is a baking mix that has flour, leavening, and oil in it (plus a bunch of preservatives). Pancakes, biscuits and muffins (and MANY other recipes) come together very quickly with this baking mix, because you just have to add a few other ingredients.

When I made brunch recently, I was sure to add Sausage Balls to my menu because not only are they the perfect finger food, everyone LOVES them! They’re so easy to make because it’s just Bisquick, sausage and shredded cheese. When I went to purchase the Bisquick I gasped! It was not cheap! Then I realized I have a recipe to make my own!

The Cookie Recipe That’s Hard to Resist

The recipe I’m sharing today brings a bit of nostalgia to my heart. I remember eating these cookies as a little girl when my mom would make them as an after school treat. They were my FAVORITE cookie!

Everyone needs a cookie recipe that can be finished in 30 minutes because there are times that you need dessert in a hurry. There are also times when a person craves a dark fudgy chocolate cookie that is easy to make and hard to resist! These are made with oats, so they’re also gluten-free!

A couple weeks ago when I was at my parents’, I wanted to make something sweet for my dad and remembered that he loves these cookies, too. I pulled up my blog for the recipe and found that it wasn’t there! After posting my favorite recipes for thirteen years, I can’t believe I haven’t shared this one before now! I’m going to fix that today!

You Will Love These Pumpkin Sugar Cookies

Last Monday I shared a savory pumpkin recipe, so I thought we’d go sweet today. These pumpkin sugar cookies are perfect this time of year!

These Pumpkin Sugar Cookies caught my eye on Pinterest. They whipped up really fast. Even with adding the icing, a half batch took me less than an hour from start to finish.  These are called Sugar Cookies, but they’re fluffier than a traditional recipe, so keep that in mind when you pull the little clouds from the oven.  They are fluffy in the middle and have a little crispiness on the edges.  Yum.
