Christmas Eve Candy Making

My sister came over for lunch and an impromptu candy-making session!

Here she is showing me how to make my favorite Christmas treat: marshmallow-caramel-rice-krispy- thingamajigs! I don't think they have a real name...

You roll the frozen marshamallows in melted caramel sweetened condensed milk and butter goo, then roll them in rice krispies.  Yes, highly technical, I know.  And very, very, messy!

 She also made this peanut butter confection with Golden Grahams cereal. YUM.

They are chewy, crunch, peanut buttery and so good!  I think it had melted peanut butter chips, peanut butter, butter, and corn syrup.  Not a diet food, obviously!

These are so good with a cup of coffee.  She left us quite a few to munch on over the next few days.  A nice treat on a rainy and cold Christmas Eve.  

Merry Christmas, everyone!

 I hope your weekend will be filled with family, good food, and good times (:
