Happy Days are spent outside on my patio in the Fall!
I've made us some bars from an old Cuisine magazine that I kept. I'm such a hoarder of recipes, since when I was a teenager.
This pretty teacup is from my friend Rosie's mother's collection and is from the House of Goebel, Bavaria, W. Germany.
This is tea is from my latest batch that came from my Mother's Day gift from Kevin and Kristen.
I think it's a perfect Fall tea, even though the name is Summer Nights, and it was very enjoyable.
Yield: 28-36 bars
Salted Nut Roll Bars
These are crunchy, chewy, salty and sweet!
Ingredients
- 1 lb. peanut butter sandwich cookies, coarsely crumbled
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- For the Topping-
- 2 cups peanut butter chips
- 2/3 cup light corn syrup
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 2 cups dry roasted peanuts
- 2 cups Rice Krispies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees; spray a 13x9" baking pan.
- Pulverize cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs from. Add melted butter; process until crumbs form clumps. Press crumbs into prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden.
- Melt peanut butter chips, corn syrup and vanilla in a saucepan oven medium-low heat, stirring until smooth. I actually did this in the microwave for about 1 minute, stirred and then did a few seconds more until melted and smooth. Make sure to do this in a large enough bowl because you will be adding to this. Spread 1/2 cup of this mixture over the crumb base.
- Top with marshmallows and return bars to the oven. Bake until marshmallows puff, about 2 minutes. Don't let marshmallows brown or they'll turn crunchy.
- Toss peanuts and Rice Krispies into the remaining peanut mixture. Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the marshmallows, then spread with a spatula that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Cool bars before cutting.
- Enjoy
I finally was able to celebrate with Molly for her birthday. She and Caiden and Cissy were on Fall break for a few days. Here she is amazed at her brunch meal.
Caiden ordered chicken and waffles and a latte. They embellish the food and drinks here so beautifuly.
Cissy ordered a cold latte, and isn't it beautiful??!
Cissy ordered the Brioche French Toast! It was definitely shareable and was oh so good!
Hayden had her 5th Birthday party and I was happy to be included. There was face painting, decorating of microphones and heart shaped glasses, and little girl fun!
Thank you for your visit! xo

ReplyDeleteThe Summer Nights tea look interesting. Based on the ingredients (e.g., marshmallows, smoky Lapsang, cocoa), it sounds like a s'mores-inspired tea?

These sound so delicious! And that tea! It sounds amazing! I am attempting to try to navigate more over to tea, instead of coffee every time. I love coffee so much, but seeing posts like yours piques my interest in being more adventurous in the tea world. God bless you, sweet friend.
