The Best Thing I Ever Made - Snack Food
My husband snacks on peanuts all the time but I am not a big fan of them. But if you pour delicious toffee over peanuts, I am all in! When I saw that the theme for this week was snack food, I knew I had to share this recipe. Working with sugar or candy kind of scares me but this recipe is so easy to make. Click here to learn how to make these super easy toffee peanuts.

Betty Crocker Peanut Butter Snack Bars
So this recipe is a little different than what I usually make on the blog. These are snack bars you can make out of some cereal and a few other ingredients. I am not a big breakfast person so these were nice to have around over the holidays when I was headed out a lot to shop and do errands.
The recipe is from Betty Crocker's Just the Two Of Us cookbook.
You will need some brown sugar, peanuts or any kind of nuts you like, honey, cereal, peanut butter and some cinnamon. The great thing about these bars is you can really just use whatever you like in them.
Chop up your nuts.
Measure out your tightly packed brown sugar.
Get it in the pan with the honey.
Get it just to boiling over medium heat and then remove it from the burner.
Stir in the peanut butter and the cinnamon. This looks like a pan full of sweet delicious heaven to me and it smells amazing.
Stir in the cereal and peanuts until everything is coated.
Press it all into a greased loaf pan and walk away! I let mine sit for about an hour before I cut into it.
I flipped it out of the loaf pan and had a giant snack bar!
They fell apart a little bit and were sort of messy to eat, but they were so delicious. I want to make them again with total and cranberries instead of the raisins. You could kick these up by adding flax seed as well for added health benefits.

Toffee Peanuts
With the 4th of July coming up you may have some folks coming over for a BBQ or "cook out" as we called it growing up. This is a fun snack to put out while everyone waits for their dogs and burgers. The recipe is from Taste of Home and I cut it in half.
Ingredients:
* 1/4 cup sugar
* 2 tablespoons butter, melted
* 2 tablespoons corn syrup
* 1-1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 2 cups unsalted dry roasted peanuts
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the sugar, butter, corn syrup, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Add peanuts; toss to coat. Transfer to a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan.
Bake at 300° for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown, stirring once. Cool on a wire rack; break apart if necessary. Store in an airtight container.
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees and lets get our ingredients. You need some peanuts, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, white sugar, butter and corn syrup.
Melt up the butter.
Get it in a bowl with the rest of the spices and sugars.
Stir in the peanuts.
Pour them out on to a baking sheet lined with non stick foil or grease it however you prefer. Put them in the oven for 20-25 minutes and give them a stir if you remember. I didn't and they turned out fine.
You can't imagine how good this smelled! Let it cool and then break it up and pop it into the fridge until its time to serve.
I will admit that these got served to just me, but not all in one sitting, I swear.
