Crunchy Fudge Sandwiches


 Let's enjoy a teatime treat that my granddaughter, Cissy and I made.  I've shared this recipe before, but these little treats deserve sharing again.  Isn't my amaryllis that I planted after Christmas, so pretty? 

 I love to pull out this favorite Johnson Brothers English Countryside, red transferware teacup, for the month of February. 

Here's sweet Cissy, ready to take her treats home to her family.  She is such a bright little joy in my life, and we love cooking and laughing together.




Yield: Makes 25 - 1 and 1/2" squares

Crunchy Fudge Sandwiches

I think I got this recipe from the back of a butterscotch chip or chocolate chip bag, years ago. I hope you try them!

ingredients:

1 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
4 cups crisp rice cereal (Rice Krispies)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 T. butter
1 T. water


instructions:

Melt the butterscotch chips with the peanut butter in a heavy saucepan over low  heat, stirring until blended.  (Or melt in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl.)

Stir in the crisp rice cereal.  Press half of this mixture into a buttered 8" square pan.  Chill.  Set remainder aside. (If you wet your hands it makes pressing easier).

Stir over hot water,  the chocolate chips, powdered sugar, butter and water until chocolate melts.  (This can also be done in the microwave being careful to do on lower power and in a microwave safe bowl).  Spread over chilled mixture.  Top with reserved mixture.  Chill.  Cut into  squares.
