Share Your Memories

I'm a 3rd grade teacher and I wanted to make something special to treat my students on the day of their Halloween party. So I made these cool green guys. The recipe is super-simple, and decorating was so much fun. The kids were amazed at how they turned out -- one kid even said, "Ms. Goodman, you're a real good cook." I think I'll make them next year, too.

1. my kids love these, my mom has made them for years and we really don't have a name for them but we call them rice krispie happiness. prepare rice krispies as directed in a glass dish melt in microwave 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips 1 cup butterscotch chips and a 1/2 cup peanut butter. melt for 45 seconds stir and melt again for 30 seconds pour over top of prepared rice krispies and let set for about a half hour or so, if your in a a hurry you can put them in the fridge but for no longer then 20 minutes or they get too hard.
