Today I’ll be sharing recipes for the 3 treats that I gave away last year: Devil’s Food Cookies, Chess Bars, and Peanut Butter Krispy Balls. Hope you enjoy them!
Recipe for Devil’s Food Cookies:
Ingredients:
1 Devil’s Food Cake Mix
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup oil
1 egg
candy sprinkles (optional)
Recipe for Chess Cake:
Ingredients:
For Cake:
1 box yellow cake mix
2 eggs
1 stick margarine (softened or melted)
For Icing:
8 oz cream cheese
1 stick margarine (softened or melted)
2 eggs
1 box powdered sugar
Recipe for Peanut Butter Crispy Balls:
Ingredients:
1 cup Light Karo syrup
1 1/2 cups White sugar
1 1/2 cups Peanut butter
5 cups cereal (Original recipe calls for Special K cereal, but I used a combination of Rice Krispies and Corn Flakes.)
Place these treats in cute box or bag, and you’ve got a yummy Christmas gift!
By the way, don’t forget to stop back by my blog tomorrow for a Christmas Recipe Party!
For this part of the tour, we start with the fridge, which is topped off by my little kitchen tree. Last year it seemed to be everyone’s favorite thing in my home tour (and my fave too), so it makes a return this year!
A bunch of different plates, figurines, etc. always seem to find there way on the counter this time of year.
The Christmas Tree Plate is one of my favorite pieces. Hubby bought it for me from Cracker Barrel.
And here’s the dining rom table. It’s the same tablecloth from last year, but the I added a bunch of stuff to the center.
More balls in cups and cone trees! And if you check out my Christmas Craft post from yesterday you can see how I created the sign.
And that’s it for the kitchen. If you haven’t seen the living room tour, please check that out too. And don’t forget to come back here tomorrow for the Christmas Recipe Party!
Also, linking up at these parties.
Wednesday is Day 3 of the Holly Bloggy Event, and we’re sharing decorations and Home Tours. Be sure to go over to The Shabby Chic Cottage to share yours! Also, come back here to Simply Sweet Home tomorrow for a Christmas Recipe Party!
I had a lot of stuff I wanted to share for this year, so I’ve actually decided to divide my tour up into two posts. There will be one for the living room and one for the kitchen/dining room.
Back to the “treasure cabinet.” I decided to share my Rudolph figurines. This is my third year to do a home tour on my blog, and I don’t think I’ve ever shared them. My best friend from elementary to high school bought me these several years ago because it was always one of my favorite movies!
I especially love this candle set. I always love blue and silver together!
Please check out my Kitchen Tour—coming up next!
Don’t forget to link up your decor at The Shabby Chic Cottage. I’m also linking up at parties.
Today we are sharing Christmas Crafts for the Holly Bloggy Christmas. You can link up your project with Nicholette and Vanessa at Craft Envy.
(By the way, if you came by to see my weekly recipe, it’s been postponed this week. Please come back on Thursday to see it and link up for the Christmas Recipe party.)
I’m also linking up at these parties.
