Peanut Butter Chews

Jessica and I would eat these all the time during high school. They are AMAZING and seriously so addicting. Good luck not eating all of them at once!

Peanut Butter Chews

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup karo syrup

3/4 cup peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 cups of Special K cereal or Corn Flakes

Put sugar and syrup in a large saucepan. Heat on medium high until mixture comes to a rolling boil. When mixture boils, remove immediately from the heat. Set on a cooling rack.

Immediately add peanut butter and vanilla. Stir with a wooden spoon until peanut butter melts. Stir in the cereal, 1 cup at a time. Make sure to thoroughly mix. (The cereal should be completely coated with the sauce).

Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil or wax paper. Drop from tablespoons onto cookie sheet. Let cool, eat and enjoy!

For an extra special addition, drizzle melted chocolate over the tops of the chews.

Thick-Crust Chicken & Rosemary Pizza

Yum Yum Yum! So glad we were able to make this pizza tonight! It just hit the spot. The nice thing is that we (me, Caitlin H., and Jessica H.) were able to all be in the kitchen at the same time and not be in each other's way haha. This recipe came with my Pizza Stone from Pampered Chef! Pretty much one of the BEST Christmas presents ever! The original recipe includes onions. To make it how we made it, just omit the onions!
