I tend to be a fairly predictable person.
I generally don’t “keep people on their toes”. I don’t “fly by the seat of my pants”.
I like the norm. The status quo. A schedule.
I work well with structure and repetition.
That doesn’t translate into boring…I am just prepared. Isn’t that what we try and teach our children?
When people say they are looking for “spontaneity” and “excitement” I just don’t get it.
I have never been that person.
I like what I like, I do what I do, and I don’t need anyone coming in all willy-nilly messing up my order.
Don’t pop over unannounced. I don’t have a “pop over-able personality”. I need time to plan. To prepare. To “wrap my mind” around the fact that you are coming over.
You know, to go over possible talking points in my head…to plan snacks…to choose a nail color.
I don’t do spontaneous vacations. The thought of a get up and go trip gives me anxiety. There is far too much to do before a vacation. I need weeks, if not months to prepare. I mean it takes me days to pick out my “airplane outfit”, which is totally a thing, by the way.
I hear people when they are talking about finding a boyfriend or a husband, “He needs to be spontaneous”….why?
Trust me you do not want a spontaneous husband…one who is always going to be the “fun” parent while you are stuck doing homework and dishes.
I am still a fun person. At least that’s what I tell myself. I just like to plan my fun.
So back to predictability…
You come here and you know what you are going to get. That’s comforting.
I mean, what if I got all spontaneous and decided to make a cake out of beets or something. You would be disappointed…
And my goal is not to disappoint you. Along with being completely non-spontaneous, I am also quite needy, apparently.
So in keeping with tradition around these parts, I have made another krispie treat for you.
It’s a good one. Really good.
Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats.
I nailed it.
First get you some Nutter Butter cookies. These are my husband’s most favorite store-bought cookie, behind the Golden Double Stuf Oreo and the Samoa Girl Scout. Man loves him some preservatives.
You will need a whole pack of these lovies.
And then it might hurt your heart a little, but you have to chop them to smithereens.
Now go about making rice krispie treats as you normally would, but mix in the cookies…
Once you have your cookies, krispies and marshmallowy mix together, press it into a prepared pan…
When it is ready, go ahead and cut it into squares.
And it’s very important to taste test.
Nutter Butters + Krispies + Marshmallows = love.

You’re right…I’d be seriously disappointed if there weren’t a peanutty delicious treat here today. Beets just would NOT have cut it.
This sounds like a perfect combination! I like knowing I will always find something sweet and delicious when I come visit your blog…..your predictibility in that sense keeps me checking back 🙂
What a great idea – I had never thought of putting other things into rice krispie treats. They look delicious and I’m sure would be a big hit with my kids! Thanks for sharing.
I totally get planning for a trip, I dont do spontaneous its just unnerving…predictable is much better..and these nutter butter cookies, totally NOT predictable otherwise everyone would be making them all the time because of their awesomeness. Sadly most people are making regular krispy treats and missing out on this goodness. Thank you for sharing your “spontaneous” side
http://joythebaker.com/2012/01/chocolate-beet-cake-with-beet-cream-cheese-frosting/ . Here’s a yummy looking beet cake if you want to be spontaneous!
Dang, those look good, I LOVE Nutter Butters. BTW, your intro CRACKED ME UP. Just yesterday, my daughter and I were looking for some V-Day treats for her to bring for her teachers, stumbled across a recipe that called for beets. When I explained to her what those are, we both went ‘Yeah… no.” lol
Im with you. My husband grew up in a house when they take trips they drive as far as they can and then “find a hotel” when they get there. Not happpening with me I have to know where I am going to rest my head ahead of time. The “airplane outfit” totally a thing I have it also. Great treats. LOVE your blog and recipes. 🙂
OMG! Perfect combination! Can’t wait to stir these babies up!
I’ll take the predictability. I made red velvet cupcakes with beets, and didn’t care for them. So please leave the beets out of your baked goods!! And give me about a pan of these, because I could totally put them down all by myself!
Yum! If I made these my husband would probably want them dipped in chocolate too.. either way I think they would be fabulous!
