Yep! It's as off-off topic as you can get! Do you have a favorite recipe you'd like to share with other Gateworlders around the world? Share it here!
I'll kick things off with this recipe. It was given to me at an open house earlier this month. It was so easy that I decided to make it for holiday gifts this year. It went over wonderfully!
1 block Almond Bark
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
6-7 cups Cap'n Crunch cereal
1/2 cup cashews
M & M candies (optional--add as many as you want for color)
Waxed paper
Premeasure peanut butter. Set aside. Melt almond bark over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. As soon as it is completely melted, remove from heat and add peanut butter, stirring until completely blended.
Then, start adding cereal and nuts a little at a time, stirring until completely coated. If you're adding M & Ms add them a little at a time as well. I used the red and green holiday M & Ms for a hint of holiday color, adding them a few at a time as I was about to drop the spoonfuls onto the waxed paper to make the cookies.
Drop small spoonfuls of mixture onto waxed paper lined cookie sheets or plates. Place in refrigerator for a few minutes until they harden. Then, remove and store in an air-tight container.
NOTE: The waxed paper is very important! The almond bark hardens so well that it won't come off the plates or cookie sheets unless you use the waxed paper.
Makes 3-4 dozen.
