Since when has it ever just been a recipe?
Yesterday was my sweet nephew's 1st birthday.
I take care of him on Wednesdays.
Jobie was super excited to be with him on his birthday.
And thought we needed a picture of the birthday boy.
So I gave Jobe the camera.
Why is it impossible for them not to take a pictureof themselves when they have a camera?
Have you ever read Hints from Heloise?
Her column is in our local paper.
I like to at least skim it.
And have picked up a few helpful tips.
However.
I'm not sure we will use this one:
"Have a scratch or cut
larger than a typical adhesive bandage?
Try using a panty liner.
Tape it to the area using an adhesive bandage."
Ewwww.
Brookie and I got the giggles over that one.
Seriously?
Ok.
Finally.
Getting to the recipe.
A yummy after school snack.
My kids loved it.
Brookie ate 3.
Then said:
I don't know.
They're not really that great.
Sometimes I don't get her.
Ezra's friend was over.
He said:
Ezra, next time we have a party.
I'm inviting you.
And your mom is going to make these.
He's my new favorite of the kids' friends.
Crunchy Caramel Balls
1 large pkg. jumbo marshmallows
1-12oz. pkg. caramels
1-14oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 stick butter or margarine
Rice Krispies
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt together the caramels, milk and butter. Stir until creamy. Cool. Using tongs, dip each marshmallow in the caramel mixture, then roll in Rice Krispies. Set on waxed paper. Make 3 dozen plus.
My variation:I used Cocoa Krispies instead.
Next time, I want to dip them in the caramel.
And then a dark chocolate.
Maybe even add some red and/or green sprinkles.
Christmas treats!
Actually, I prefer salty treats to sweet treats.
In case you were thinking.
About what to bring to my house during the holidays.
But I will accept anything, really.
I hate to be picky.

You just make me laugh!! You get me going so hard that I think of what you write thru out my days and laugh all over again!!
I'm glad my kid is your favorite. ;)
I wasn't sure if it was him, so I just asked what he had at your house yesterday. He got all excited and said, "Carmel balls. And here's how you make them..." And then told me that we need to have a party and have you make them. :)
Yummy!!! But now I'm wondering if you had too many and got a tummy ache :)
Yummmm.
It was fun seeing you today.
