This week is Halloween and my mother's birthday. So I have lots of reasons to go a little sugar crazy on the blog this week. You see, my mother has a major sweet tooth. She loves dessert and is notorious for giving the grand-kids a little sweet treat after meals (even a couple of jelly beans from her special stash next to her easy chair). Yes... they love her for it!
One of her favorite candy bars is the Butterfinger Bar. When my sister buys multi-candy packs, my mother will slowly fish out all the Butterfinger candies. When she does that, it always cracks me up because my mother does not ask for much in life, always put others first and is a total giver to everyone. The fact that she fishes out her favorite candy bar lets you know that even the "givers" of this world have something that they are not willing to share. So don't get between her and her favorite chocolates. Ha!ha!
I bought a bag of Butterfingers just so I could make her some treats to celebrate her birthday. She LOVED these rice krispies treats. I made her a whole container full of them and delivered them today so she could enjoy a little sweet treat every day until her birthday. It's going to be a sweet week... get ready.
