Strawberry Snack

Ingredients:

1 cup of fresh, clean strawberries
1 tsp. sugar

Just sprinkle the sugar on top of the strawberries. I find this to be one of my favorite after-school snacks. It is also great with or on top of oatmeal.

What you need:

Then lay out pretzels like this. Put the Hugs on top of the pretzels.

Than pull them out and stick M&Ms into them.

Peanut Butter Cups

This is one of my favorite treats to make with my mom. I think they taste even better than Reese's peanut butter cups.
Please try them sometime.

Peanut Butter Cups

2 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter
2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup melted butter
Topping:
2/3 cup chocolate chips
4 1/2 tsp. creamy peanut butter
1/2 tsp. butter
Line 9 inch pan with foil. Than spray Pam on foil. In a bowl, combine powdered sugar, peanut butter, graham cracker crumbs and butter. Mix until well combined. Press mixture into prepared pan.
Combine topping ingredients in a microwave safe bowl. Heat until chocolate chips start to melt. (It is very easy to overcook the chocolate chips) Then mix well until all chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is well combined. Pour over top of peanut butter mixture. Refrigerate until set. (Cut into bars after 30 minutes)
