A "little bit of everything" cookie

I know it's been a while, but I try to get on here as much as I can, and sadly it's not as much as I wish I could be.  I had some spare time tonight though and thought it was time for some cookies to be made!

Crunchy Peanut Butter Mix

Lately I have been eating the HECK out of muddy buddies! Sadly, I can finish a whole bag to myself, no problem. So I figured instead of me always going to the store and buying bags upon bags of muddy buddies, I would figure out a way to make them from home. This little mix is SO much better, only because it has more ingredients in it. So easy and it makes a TON of it! Great fall colors incorporated too, so it'll be fun to make for the kids to pack in their lunch as a "happy going back to school" snack! I hope you LOVE this as much as I do! Crunchy Peanut Butter Mix Ingredients - 4 c golden grahams cereal - 2 c coca puffs cereal - 2 c pretzel stucks - 1 c reeses pieces - 1 c dry-roasted panuts - 10 oz white chocolate baking bars or squares, chopped - 2 T butter - 1/2 c powdered sugar In a large bowl, mix cereals, pretzels, peanut butter candies and peanuts; set aside. In a 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave white chocolate and butter uncovered for 1 m...

Funfetti Cake Batter Cookies

Yum, yum, yum. I know it's been a while, sorry! Been busy with work & everything that's going on, but I promise I am going to start getting back into posting new things! I hadn't baked anything delicious to bring to work lately, so I figured cookies would make everyone happy. These babies took NO time at all (which I love) & tasted DELICIOUS! They're not too sweet, but they hit the spot. 6 ingredients thrown together, put them in the oven and *POOF*, nice small round pieces of heaven for your mouth.

White Crispies

I was craving something sweet with peanut butter! Reeses Peanut Butter Cups just weren't doing the trick, so I decided to whip up these "cookies" at 8 in the morning and they hit the spot. Brought the extra ones to work the next day ... lets just say they didn't last very long. I love making things that I can throw ingredients together and forget about them until later. This is the perfect recipe for quick and easy "cookies" and hit your chocolate/peanut butter craving! White Crispies Ingredients -2 bags (4 cups) white chocolate chips -1 cup peanut butter -3 cups Rice Krispies Cereal -2 cups miniature marshmallows -1 cup salted peanuts Melt white chocolate chips and add peanut butter. Stir until smooth. In a separate bowl, add cereal, marshmallows, and peanuts. Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal mixture. Drop spoonfuls onto waxed paper or cookie sheet and refrigerate until firm. *They weren't 100% firm when I took this picture

Hawaiian Meatballs

This is a nice change from the typical meatballs you make for dinner with spaghetti, or the Italian meatballs you make as an appetizer. This dinner is a nice little trip to paradise in your mouth. It only has a couple ingredients and doesn't have to cook as long as most dinners that you put in the crock pot. Serve it over rice (I used brown rice, because I LOVE it) or just eat it plain, either way it's delicious. The sauce is so flavorful and takes no effort at all to make. Definitely an easy weekday dinner to make! Hawaiian Meatballs Ingredients: -32 oz package of precooked, frozen meatballs -13.5 oz can of unsweetened pineapple chucks (put juice aside) -1 large green pepper, diced (I cut mine into bigger chunks so they wouldn't get that "soggy" texture) -1 cup brown sugar -2T cornstarch -2/3 cup vinegar -2T soy sauce Place meatballs in crock pot and top with green pepper and drained pineapple chunks. In a separate bowl, mix reserved pineapple ...
