Here's a new one that everyone in the family enjoyed (from age 3 to 43).
Believe it or not, this recipe came from my daughter's Seventeen Magazine!
Rice Crispy Peanut Butter Balls
3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 cup extra crunchy peanut butter
1 cup peanut butter chips
1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow creme like Fluff brand.
Mix ingredients together. Form 1-1/2 inch balls and place on a wax-papered cookie sheet. Refrigerate for one hour.
We modified the recipe a bit. I only had smooth peanut butter, so I added about 1/2 cup of dry roasted peanuts to add more crunch. Instead of peanut butter chips, we used chocolate chips.
They went fast!
This would be an especially good one for the summer or for kids to fix themselves, because it was easy, fun, and no cooking is needed.
This is a blog of easy recipes and kitchen advice, designed with the new cook in mind. If you're low on money, a newlywed or a college student who wants to eat something other than fast food - or just someone who wants food that is simple and easy to prepare, you have come to the right place. Welcome! Pull up a chair in my kitchen. You might want to check it for crumbs before you sit down.

Easy Ghost Cookies - Cute and Convenient for Halloween
These are so easy to make and they are such a hit with the kids.
There are different ways you can make them but this is how I do it.
Roll out a long piece of wax paper to protect your table or countertop surface.
Then, just take Nutter Butter cookies, and lay them out on a wire cooling
rack you have placed over the waxed paper.
(tired yet? LOL)
Melt some white chocolate (I use that kind you can buy on the baking aisle, I think it's white almond bark)...you can melt it in a double boiler if you have one, or melt it in the microwave (watch it carefully, use caution). Carefully pour or spoon and spread the white chocolate bark over the tops of cookies, making sure that the sides of cookies are also coated.
Once they have cooled a little bit, place two miniature chocolate chips on for eyes.
This page from outside my blog will show you a picture and give nutritional information (like I care about nutrition while I eat chocolate covered Nutter Butter cookies, right? haha!) Well I like to look like I care (grin)
The times I've made them, they looked more smooth than these they have pictured. I guess they put on a lot more chocolate.
One year my daughters and I made them and sold them at the Girl Scout fundraising bake sale, just don't have them out in the sun or that chocolate melts and then it isn't quite so cute anymore.
TIP:
If you can't find the mini chocolate chips, you can also use clean shears and snip off tiny bits of black licorice for the eyes.
