Sleigh Ride & Sweet Recipes

Whom am I kidding? There's no Sleigh Ride going on down here in Texas, not in the traditional spirit of the song, anyway.  But there is a LOT of Christmas cheer in our hearts and our home. Jennifer over at Rowdy in First is having a holiday recipe linky party, so here's the peanut butter ball recipe we've been enjoying for years. They disappeared so fast that I don't even have a picture!


YUMMY Peanut Butter Balls


1 stick butter, melted * 1 cup powdered sugar * 1 cup peanut butter * 5-6 cups crushed Rice Krispies * Stir powdered sugar and peanut butter into melted butter, add five cups of crushed crispy rice (and a sixth cup if needed). Chill overnight.  Form chilled dough into balls, dip into melted chocolate, let dry and enJOY!


Here's a bonus that I just finished trying;  Reagan over at Tunstall's Teaching Tidbits recommended it and she was R.I.G.H.T. about how amazing it is! 

What a gift this cyberspace collaboration thing is!!




I'm not sure if it breaks blogging etiquette boundaries to post home movies, but I'm sending a musical greeting your way along with our wishes for a magical holiday. So make a batch of peanut butter balls or that amazing caramel corn - we put pecans in ours! - and enjoy our youngest musician tickling the ivories in a spirited version of 
Sleigh Ride.

  1. I'm so disappointed that you didn't have a picture of the Peanut Butter Balls. I love Peanut Butter and these sounds so yummy. I'll email you my address and you just can send me a large sample in the mail. :-) Your son did an awesome job playing the piano. When I grow up I want to play the piano too! lol ~ I hope you have a Merry Merry Christmas!
