Something Simple

There are times in life when you just don't feel fabulous. Its a fact. Neither good or bad, because how would you know when things are better than ever if there was nothing on the other side of the scale. So this evening with a draining nose, warn limbs and cloudy head I bring you the quick cheer bars. Yes, I know they are rice crispie goodies, yes I know that this is a microwave recipes, but if you are like me there are days when NO ONE CARES. We all just need something to give away to make another smile, in hopes that is pressing the start button on the microwave we will forget about the long week and enjoy a simple act of service. My friend Danielle was the inspiration for these treats. So thank you for reminding me that serivce is in the thought, not the technique.
Peanut butter Crispies
4 1/2 c crisp rice cereal
place in large bowl
1 10 oz bag marshmallows
4 T butter
3 T cocoa powder
place in medium microwave bowl and cook for 2 min stirring after one minute. If the marshmallows are somewhat melted, add 2/3 c commercial peanut butter and stir. Return bowl to microwave for remaining minute stirring halfway through. Dump peanut butter mixture over cereal and mix to coat. Place in greased 13x9 pan and let cool.
If you are more ambitious than this recipe add anything that sounds good. dried banana chips, or butterscotch chips might be excellent.
Have a great evening and keep smiling.
Ms. Brownie
