Instead of making peanut butter crackers, you can just use Ritz Bits. They make yummy little bites of goodness.
Please continue to live and make YouTube videos. God bless your soul ❤
Hi! I just made your biscotti recipe. Omgoodness! It turned out fantastic! This recipe is a keeper! Thanks so much and Merry Christmas!
I love almond extract. I add almond extract when I make Rice Krispy Treats. The kids love them!!
Happy Xmas music on utube
Have you heard of Monkey Bread? Love the simple recipes.
Girl you did that
I sprinkle pink Himalayan salt on top before putting into the fridge
I have to try that biscotti
Could I use Ritz crackers in place of saltines?
Crack is soooo good with milk chocolate on top, or done with pretzels or Breton minis instead of soda crackers ❤
I call mine chocolate peanut clusters or better known as rainseer poop or lumps of Santa's cole
Great treat ideas Thanks Merry Christmas

Do the crackers get mushy after a day or so?
Great selection and good instructions 🙋
Do the ritz dipped in melted andes mint chocolate, they make you think of thin mints even though theyre crackers, so good! I made a bunch of no bake treats for coworkers last year and and plan on doing the same this. We dont do bananas here but i think im going to do the grinches with cut large marshmellow disksfor the "fur"
I enjoyed watching biscotti be made!
For BUCKEYES, we add Rice Krispies, either crushed or not crushed, and it makes them almost like a Nestle's Crunch bar!
Absolutely love the soda cracker candy!!!
There is no such thing as a stress free Christmas
GURLLL!!!!! I thought almond extract was MY secret weapon!? lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣SERIOUSLY TH BEST!
I add 1Tbsp peanut butter to chocolate peanuts
I saw that you have a Kitchen Aid lift mixer. How do you think it compares to a regular Kitchen Aid mixer? I’ve been contemplating the lift mixer for awhile. Does the lift just make it sturdier? How does it work when you need to add ingredients as it’s mixing? Love all of your recipes! Thanks for the tip of adding the almond extract to the buckeyes. For the peanut cluster I add raisins to mine, too.
I am a huge Almond person too! Loved all of these
How long does the chocolate dip stay dippable? Does it thicken or dry out quickly? Thanks so much!
I'd bet Graham crackers would be much better in the first recipe.
They call it that because it's so addicting .
Great ideas!
