Peanut Butter Bottoms


One of my favorite treats my mom made when I was growing up was a dessert bar called Peanut Butter Bottoms. It is really easy to make, and tastes so yummy, so last week Sophia & Carter helped me make them. I love when I can get them in the kitchen, and I'm hoping that the more they help me cook, the more they'll be willing to try new things. Of course, getting them to try Peanut Butter Bottoms, or any sweet treat, isn't really a challenge. 

Mom advice: when your kids start eating solid foods DON'T make them something different (you know, chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, hot dogs, buttered pasta) than you at dinner. Feed them the same thing you're eating. Otherwise you'll have a power struggle every time you try to get them to eat something new/different.

Peanut Butter Bottoms

 Ingredients:

1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup white Karo syrup
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla
3 cups Special K
6 oz. chocolate chips
6 oz. butterscotch chips

Directions:

Mix together sugar and Karo syrup and bring to a boil.




Once the mixture comes to a boil, add the peanut butter and vanilla. Tip: measure out the peanut butter ahead of time.




Cream together and add three cups of Special K.




Once the cereal is coated, spread into a buttered cake pan.




Melt the chips and spread over cereal mixture.





Allow the chocolate to cool and harden. Cut into squares and enjoy!



XOXO,
