Peanut Butter Crunchy Bars

My co-worker Ramona shared this recipe and it reminded me of the PB treats that schools serve.

Peanut Butter Crunchy Bars

2 cubes of butter (must be butter, no margarine,etc)

3 c. peanut butter  (creamy works best)

4 1/2 c. powdered sugar

5 1/2 c. rice crispies (can use gluten free)

3 bags of Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips

• soften (not melt) butter
• mix butter and peanut butter
• add sugar--mix
• add rice crispies--mix
• press in pan (13 x 18 in--like jelly roll pan) OR 1/2 the recipe will make a 8x13 pan
• melt chocolate--spread on top
• refrigerate--2 min. should be enough to set

Tuna Noodle Casserole

1 Box of Mac & Cheese (sometimes I add 1/2 cup more noodles to make larger)
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 cup Milk
1 can Tuna fish
4-6 Velveeta slices
Paprika to taste

Cook macaroni noodles to desired doneness and drain. Mix together cream soup, cheese packet from mac & cheese, and milk. Place noodles in casserole dish and stir in creamy mixture and tuna. Top with slices of Velveeta and sprinkle with paprika. Microwave for 10 minutes OR bake at 350 for 30minutes.

I like peas in mine, but the kids don't so I cook that separate and mix together on my plate.
