Today one of my dear friends, Molly, who I've known since college, is setting off for a month long European get-away. She will be stopping in four dream locations: Paris, Switzerland, Austria, and London. Talk about jealous! Oh, and did I mention she is making the trip all by her lonesome? Can you believe that? I mean what an adventure! She recently started a blog of her very own and I can't wait to make sure she is safe stalk her travels.

Have so much fun Molly + can't wait to see you once you're back!

Sweet Treat for Your Monday

 

This past weekend I was in Circleville, Ohio visiting Darci, my college roommate. It was the perfect weekend to make the trip up because it was Pumpkin Show, a 4 day festival in honor of pumpkins. If there is one thing you should know about Darci it would be that she is a die-hard when it comes to Pumpkin Show. So much so that she took off Wednesday to Saturday so she wouldn't miss a day.  As crazy as that sounds I must admit I've grown to love my yearly trip to the Pumpkin Show and have had a blast each year I've gone.

This year's trip was full of lots of quality roommate time, delicious fair food, a bridesmaid dress fitting, an OSU victory that almost gave me a heart attack, and a delicious treat made by Darci's soon to be mother in law:

Peanut Butter Chews

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar

1 cup white corn syrup

1 cup smooth peanut butter

2 Tbsp butter

6-7 cups corn flakes

 

Directions:
Put sugar, corn syrup, peanut butter, and butter in large non-stick pot. Bring to boil and constantly stir so it does not burn to bottom of pan. Use med to med.low heat. 

Once it starts to bubble on top, take off hot burner to a cool burner. Slowly add in corn flakes stirring in between so they all get covered. If a little to syrupy, add in the 7th cup of corn flakes.  

Let set a couple of minutes to cool for handling..With tablespoon form balls and put on wax paper on cookie sheet and let cool..If you want them to set faster, stick them in fridge for awhile but do not keep them in there, they will get to hard to eat. Makes approx. 35 balls depending on the size you make them. Store them in closed container wax paper in between layers.
