It finally Spring time weather and everyone want be outside, so I thought I would make something that you could have on the go.

I decided to make a trail mix that could be sweet but filling too. The ingredients for this variety from what you have around.  

I first brought a bag of Peanut Butter Trail Mix for about $3 and then I added to it make it my own.

The ingredients I used were:

Peanut Butter Granola Bar (Crumbled)

Along with these items from home:

1 medium bowl

4 small bowls

First I crumbled the cookies and granola.

In the medium bowl pour some of the trail mix.

Then added each of the ingredients and mixed them in.

Mix them all together.

Crescent Roll Dessert with Peanut Butter

Since I had some Crescent Roll left over from making the Chicken Roll Ups, I decided I would use them in a dessert. Awhile back I had saw on Pinterest a recipe for a dessert using Crescent Rolls so I went back to Pinterest and clicked through to the website, Kids Kubby, which does a lot of different things with Crescent Rolls. I changed the recipe a little from the one on the website but the ingredients are the same I just added an ingredient, peanut butter. For the dessert I used the ingredients:

-Can of Crescent Rolls

-Peanut Butter

-Marshmallows

-Chocolate Chips

Along with these items from home:

-Cookie Sheet
-Knife

Preheat the oven to 350°.

On the Cookie Sheet spread out 4 of the Crescent rolls. Then spread peanut butter on them.

Then on top of the peanut butter at the marshmallows and chocolate chips. Next roll up the crescent rolls.

Repeat the steps above for the other 4 crescent rolls but this time leave off the peanut butter.

Bake in the over for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve.





Enjoy!

For the dessert I only spent $2.94 at Walmart because everything else I had in the kitchen from previous meals besides the Chocolate Chips and Marshmallows. Please excuse the extras on the receipt, those are for future meals.



Rice Krispy Treats Remixed & No Bake Cookies

Being a busy student, getting a meal cooked in the middle of the week will be hard, so I have decided to make Wednesdays, “Deserts Wednesdays.” Every Wednesday I chose one to two of my favorite or new deserts and try something new with it. This Wednesday I decided to make something I call “Rice Krispy Treats Remixed” and No Bake Cookies. For these deserts the ingredients you will need are:

Rice Krispy Treats Remixed

- 1 Box of Chex cereal

- 1 Stick of Butter

- 1 Bag of Marshmallow

- 1 ½ cup of Chocolate Chip (Whatever kind you like)

                                                                                                                                            

No Bake Cookies

- 3 cups of Oatmeal

- 2 cups of Sugar

- ½ cup of Milk

- 1 Stick of Butter

- 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract

- ½ cup of Peanut Butter

- 2-4 Tablespoons of Cocoa Powder

Along with these items from home:

- Pot

- Wooden Spoon

-Spoons

-Measuring Cup

-Measuring Spoons

- Glass Pan

- Wax Paper

- Knife

Beginning with the Rice Krispy Treats Remixed, take the pot and heat the stick of butter until it is almost melt then add the marshmallow. Stir until all the marshmallows are all melt down.

Remove from heat and add in the Chex cereal. Mix in the cereal well. At the very last minute add in the Chocolate chips.

After everything is mixed well, pour into the Glass Pan.

You can top the Treats with more Chocolate Chips and then let it stand for about an hour.

Now for the No Bake Cookies, begin with heat in a pot the stick of butter, milk, and sugar until it comes to a boil for 2 minutes.

Add in the Peanut Butter, keep on heat until it is melted and then add in the Vanilla Extract. Remove from heat and add in the Oatmeal and Cocoa Powder.

Stir until all the Cocoa is mixed in. 

Once mixed pour quickly onto Wax paper and let stand for about an hour. 

Once the cookies have hardened, cut them with a knife.

Serve.

Enjoy!
