Recipe Of The Month
SpiderWeb Munch
This crispy snack is topped with a layer of chocolate and then decorated with a thin piping of peanut butter. A candy spider on top would complete the image for a creepy Halloween treat!
1 (12-ounce) package NESTLÉ TOLL HOUSE Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1 cup creamy peanut butter, divided use
1/3 cup powdered sugar
3 cups toasted rice cereal
HEAT morsels and 3/4 cup peanut butter in small, heavy-duty saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth; remove from heat. Add sugar; stir vigorously until smooth.
PLACE cereal in large bowl. Add 1 cup melted chocolate mixture; stir until well coated. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Using small metal spatula, shape into 10-inch circle with slightly raised 1-inch-wide border. Pour remaining chocolate mixture in center of circle; spread to border.
FOR SPIDERWEB: PLACE remaining peanut butter in small, heavy-duty plastic bag. Cut tiny corner from bag; squeeze to pipe concentric circles on top of chocolate. Using wooden pick or tip of sharp knife, pull tip through peanut butter from center to border. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm. Cut into wedges.
If you have a recipe you would like to share, please contact Tara by October 25th and we'll add it to the next month's newsletter.  First recipe received will be featured.
What's Not Hot
The bouts of sad news that creep up on the board from time to time. We're all such a big family here and it stinks to see anyone suffering. If anything good can be said, it's that all of you band together to help each other out and I think that's wonderful. Thank you!
