Otherwise known as the best Rice Krispy treat EVER!

1 c. sugar
1 c. peanut butter
6 c. crisped rice (I use generic cereal for this)
1 c. chocolate chips
1 c. butterscotch morsels
Mix together syrup and sugar in large pot. Bring to boil and then remove from heat. Add peanut butter and stir. Add crisped rice, mix well.
Poon in 9×13″ greased pan.
For the topping, melt the chips and morsels together. Add over the treats and spread out evenly. Refrigerate to harden.
No Blue Balls on Valentine’s Day … only red. : )
Red Velvet Cake
Cream Cheese Frosting
Chocolate Wafers
Once cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl, mix in cream cheese frosting thoroughly. May be easier (and more fun) to do with hands but definitely messier!
Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on cookie sheet, should make 40-50. Chill for several hours – and be patient and make sure it’s really cooled down or it will get gooey.
Melt chocolate wafers in the microwave or stovetop method. Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. (Use a spoon to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra.)
Enjoy!
Welcome to Day Two of our Valentine’s Day special! Today we work on our second step of the end goal of Red Velvet Balls and that’s to make the yummy frosting we’ll blend into the cake. This recipe for cream cheese frosting can also be enjoyed with many other desserts. Fold 1/3 c. walnuts into it and add to a moist carrot cake!
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
1 stick butter
1 box of powdered sugar (4 cups)
1 tsp. vanilla flavoring
Mix cream cheese and butter together in a bowl. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix until you get the consistency you like.
Add a little milk to the frosting while mixing if you like it to be creamy.
