heading out

More camping this weekend.  Family reunion-ing, in fact.  Scott's. 
But I'll leave you with the must-have {Hendrix} camping food.  Save your marshmallows for the campfire, folks.  This is how we do it in my family:

Rice Krispie Treats

1 cup corn syrup                    
1 cup sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter  
6 cups(-ish) rice krispies
1 cup semi-sweet chips         
1 cup butterscotch chips 

1.  Boil corn syrup and sugar in large sauce pan.  Remove from heat and add peanut butter.

2.  Add rice krispies (I don't measure, but be careful not to overdo because you definitely want to keep it a bit gooey).

3.  Spread in buttered 9x13 pan.

4.  Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips.  Spread mixture on top of treats & refrigerate until firm.

 
Fair Warning:  This fairly addictive treat should only be made when there are lots of share-ers to be found.

I love these! I believe the addition of the butterscotch chips to the topping is pure genius. I'll have to try that! They would be delicious--I've only made them with chocolate on top.

I was laughing when I opened your blog, because I just got finished making a batch of these. We're going camping too, it's the ward campout tonight.

[Mandy]

[Anna]

Yum! I just have to tell you that I once again used your yummy spices the other night when I grilled some fish...so delicious! It is the Good Mail that keeps on giving! Thanks!

I have made these many times, and always thought of you, but they were always missing something -- and now I know it's the butterscotch chips. a ha!

Have fun camping again!

[Megan]

Amy, your recipe reads wrong for anyone making these. You are suppose to boil the corn syrup and sugar together, then add the peanut butter.

Have a great weekend!

[Barb]

The combination of the butterscotch chips and chocolate chips is something I must try!

[Jill]

This is one of the few things I actually make and I love these. I love it that the recipe makes a ton of them too, it seems like a big payoff for my efforts.

Have fun camping!

Oh, we call those scotcharoos and they are very dangerous! I can taste them from that picture! You are a devil woman!

Hope your camping trip is delightful!

I'm always shocked when I meet someone who doesn't share my passion for the bliss of chocolate and peanut butter combined.
