As the week of Christmas drew near, so did the plan for Christmas Candy! It's become a holiday tradition over the last couple of years to show our friends and neighbors how much we appreciate them through the gift of food! This year I stuck with my Mom's recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispy Treats. This was one of my favorites when I was kids and since there seems to be so much chocolate circulating during the holidays I think its a nice change of pace. Because of the time and amount needed, I decided to tackle the actually candy making alone this year while Brenna was still in school. However, I did save the packing up for her, which made for a very merry after-school activity.
20 dozen rice krispy treats later! Whew! On delivery day, Brenna merrily greeted everyone at their doors with a big smile and "Merry Chirstmas! We made something for you!"
To our delight, some very delicious treats made it to our door too! Only in Texas can you get gifts like hand-rolled tamales, fresh deer sausage, homemade cinnamon rolls, and hand-cracked pecans. Add that to all the wonderful cookies, fudge, and peanut brittle and it makes a very flavorful Christmas! We gives thanks for all our friends and their food!
