Pinterest Success!

I love it when a Pinterest idea works out! This was super easy and super cheap. I already had the ribbon so I just bought cards. I am sure they are cheaper at the dollar store but I paid $3 at the grocery store. Super cute and I am going to make another to hang in my office. It took me all of 30 minutes while watching Breakfast at Tiffany's ("Thursday! It can't be! It's too gruesome!") and sipping wine by the fireplace.

Peanut Butter Cheerio Treats- Pinterest Success!

I love Pinterest so much. It feeds my crafty soul. Some of the ideas I have tried to recreate from Pinterest have been a giant fail. Others have been quite successful. But every time I successfully make a craft or recipe that I found on Pinterest I feel so triumphant. Today was one of those days. I made Peanut Butter Cheerio Treats. For once I already had everything on hand.

Peanut Butter Cheerio Treats

-1 c. sugar
-1 c. corn syrup
-1 c. creamy peanut butter
-1 t. vanilla
-5 c. Cheerios

In a large sauce pan, combine sugar and corn syrup and bring to boil over medium heat. Allow mixture to boil for one minute and remove from heat. Add peanut butter and vanilla to mixture and mix until smooth. Add Cheerios and mix until all coated. Drop mixture by spoonful onto waxed paper and allow to cool. Makes approximately 2 dozen.

These were super easy, super yummy and have zero nutritional value (ok, that is not entirely true. The peanut butter has protein. Ha ha). They were a huge hit, my kids loved them.
