Apparently there is a hurricane coming. Sandy. And as I sit here and type, I am listening to the weather channel people get all “Doppler-y”. I think they are far too excited about the prospect that I might not have power for a week. Far. Too. Excited. We were told to prepare for power outages for 7-10 days. So I am basically dying, because that means I will have no internets…and between you and me, a life without the internets isn’t a future I can handle. I mean, I need food and stuff too, but mostly the internets. Yeah, I said it. So I am hoping that all these weather people, standing on the beach in their raincoats and boots “braving the weather” are all wrong. Luckily though, I made some treats to get me through. And they are totally relevant this week where the weather is trying to ruin my kid’s Halloween because they include Candy Corn. Honestly in this case, you can’t even taste the Candy Corn…they just add an element of sweetness and cuteness, so don’t fear all you crazy candy corn haters., you’ll like these. I promise. Sorry I just said Candy Corn 17 times. candycorncandycorncandycorn. Anyway, these are Scarecrow Bars. Yum.
How to make Scarecrow Bars
It all starts with a cake mix… Mix that with some butter and an egg and you have a delicious crust… While you are baking your crust go ahead and get all your other things ready. Once the crust is done you’ll need to move fast. First crush some Rice Chex… You’ll also need some marshmallows, candy corn and Honey Roasted Peanuts. In a sauce pan melt some sugar and corn syrup together and mix in some peanut butter too… Your crust should be about done at this point..remove it from the oven and sprinkle some marshmallows all over it. Bake that for 1-2 minutes, just long enough for the marshmallows to puff. While your marshmallows are puffing, stir your candy corn, Chex and peanuts into the peanut butter mixture… Immediately spoon this on your puffed marshmallows… Let them cool and then cut into squares. So good! Keep your fingers crossed for me that Sandy doesn’t kick my butt!!
