Snack Mix Bars


Another no-bake recipe. Gotta love recipes like this. They were all gone at a recent party. I'd definetely make these again.



Snack Mix Bar
Source: Inn Cuisine.Com

Ingredients
3 cups pretzel sticks (snapped into thirds)
2 & 1/3 cups Wheat Chex
2 cups plain M&M’s (feel free to experiment with the peanut, almond, or dark chocolate varieties too)
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (I prefer Jif Natural)
5 & 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows

Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine pretzels, Wheat Chex and M&M’s. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and peanut butter; add mini marshmallows, cooking and stirring until the marshmallows are melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour over pretzel mixture; stirring and tossing gently to coat. Press mixture into a greased 13″x9″x2″ baking dish. Cool until firm (away from hot kitchen lights), cut into squares and serve.
Yield: approximately 2 dozen (more or less depending on the size squares you cut)

Butterscotch Cornflake Cookies


My mom used to make these for us. I had forgotten about them until I found a bag of butterscotch chips in the closet. As easy as these cookies are - they are good. Rich but good! This is another good recipe to add to a simplified baking strategy! Try 'em out!
