I thought this would be the perfect place to put all the recipes and links in case they want to make them or you want to!
You seriously haven't lived until you've eaten this! This is the mix cooling on the table as I break pieces off and eat them before bagging it all up! OMG!
I can't lie - I'm saving this jar in my cupboard for myself! :)
I've never made bits and bites before but this recipe was SO easy! I love using the slow cooker and this saved heating up the oven for hours :)
I opted out of making the caramel myself because I don't have a candy thermometer and was scared I'd burn something so I bought a bottle of caramel in the ice cream section. It was good but didn't set up as well as I think the homemade caramel would.
Peanut Butter Balls
No link for this one as it's my grandmother's recipe. She had this green rectangular Tupperware container and when that was in the fridge you knew there were peanut butter balls in it! My favourite treat from their house at Christmas time.
4 cups peanut butter
3 cups icing sugar
1/2 cup margarine, soft
1 egg
Mix all ingredients with a mixer until well blended. Rub extra icing sugar on hands (these get sticky!) and roll into balls. I put the balls in the freezer for an hour or two before melting the chocolate for dipping. With the peanut butter semi frozen, it helps them not fall apart when put in the melted chocolate. Melt one package of chocolate chips with a bit of parafin wax to dip the balls into. You can also choose to use candy melts and not add wax :)
This is one batch of peanut butter balls - half the recipe if you don't need this much!
*Sorry no pictures of these two - I got two excited and put them in the boxes before I took any pictures*
