Scotcharoos
Have you ever heard of a "scotcharoo"? Well, it is delicious! It is a great combination of peanut butter, butterscotch, and chocolate with a rice crispy treat! They are so much fun to serve to kiddos in the summer or for an after school snack. I keep mine refrigerated so they are cold, and on a hot summer day it's heaven!
Mother Goose Popcorn
This sweet popcorn is fun to make for different holidays by changing the color. We love to make green popcorn for St. Patrick's Day! It is such a tasty snack or dessert, and is a great surprise in a school lunch too. The sugary coating is unique to any other popcorn I make, and it's addicting! I don't know how this recipe got it's name, but it's been in my family for years.
Peanut Butter Caramel Popcorn
I grew up with a mom who made popcorn balls quite often, so I've always had a sweet tooth for anything including caramel and popcorn. This recipe caught my eye because it's different from all the other caramel corn recipes out there. It includes PEANUT BUTTER. Sound interesting? It is worth a try, especially for your kiddos who enjoy peanut butter and constant snacking!
Our Favorite Cheeseball - Thanksgiving Style
This cheeseball is a classic recipe from The Lion House, which is a famous restaurant in Utah that was the former house of Brigham Young. I have all of their cookbooks because they have great recipes! It is also where we had our wedding luncheon, so it's special to me. My kids devour this cheeseball any time I make it, which is usually at the holidays. I saw this cute idea on Pinterest to turn a cheeseball into a turkey, and voila! We've got a darling appetizer all ready for you to try for Thanksgiving!
St. Patrick's Day Charcuterie Board
Looking for a fun activity for your kiddos to either help make or eat? This St. Patrick's Day charcuterie board is so much fun to put together! Everything you see is naturally gluten free and 100% delicious. This board has it all.... from a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, to a pepper shamrock, to chips and guacamole! It includes a luscious fruit dip as well as a green ranch vegetable dip. The best part about charcuterie boards is that you get to personalize them how you like!
Four Quarter Cheese Spread
I love fancy appetizers that taste unique and amazing, but are so easy to make. This delicious cheese spread is so quick to come together, and within minutes you have something quite addicting to put on your favorite crackers. The cheese has onion and garlic mixed in, then the whole thing is covered in a sweet and salty pecan glaze. Oh my!
