Halloween Treats

Sunday, October 31, 2010 | Publish by MizWasy

It's Halloween!  Cue spooky music.  The second (or maybe even third) most popular day where kids all over the place go into sugar overload (behind Easter and maybe, Valentine's Day).


Here's a sweet treat that is easy to create.  The hardest part is rolling them into balls.  A lady I know calls them Skillet Cookies.  While they really don't remind me of cookies per se, since they aren't baked, they do disappear rather quickly. 


Skillet Cookies



Ingredients:
1 stick butter (no subs)
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 cup chopped nuts (any will do, but I like pecans or cashews)
1 cup chopped dates
2 cups crispy rice cereal (you know which one)
 
Directions:
Mix the first six ingredients in a skillet and bring to a boil.  Boil 5 minutes while stirring continuously.  Remove from heat and cool for about 3 minutes.  Add cereal, mix well and form into balls (slightly bigger than marbles).  Roll balls in powdered sugar or flaked coconut.


Variation:
Use the chocolate version of the crispy rice cereal for a different taste.

About the blog . . .

Here you will find recipes from three generations of home cooks. You'll also find a few tips, tricks and shortcuts along the way to make your cooking easier. This is why my husband calls me "Shortcut Sally." There are times when slaving over a meal is warranted and times when it won't affect the final result if you don't. The trick is for you to know the difference and that your guests don't have a clue.
