I am not writing this to say how great I am ~ I am writing that because if I am supermom, what the heck is going on in other people’s houses?
PB&J Krispie treats
1/4 cup butter (half a stick)
10.5 oz. bag mini marshmallows + 1 cup
6 cups rice krispies
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup of jelly (whatever kind you prefer) – I used grape
Spray 8×8 square pan with cooking spray
Melt butter over low heat
Once melted add marshmallows until melted, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat.
Add bag of mini marshmallows, NOT the extra cup.
Mix together
Let cool for approx 2 min.
Add the remaining 1 cup marshmallows and stir to combine.
Now, press 1/2 the krispie mix into the prepared pan.
Tip ~ I spray 1 side of a sheet of wax paper to press the mix down. It makes it a little easier.
Spread the peanut butter over the bottom layer of krispies.
Now spread the jelly.
Top with the remaining krispie mix.
Let cool completely and cut into squares.
Don’t know if I would recommend them for dinner, but hey, no judgment…it might just be that kinda night ~
We’ve all been there 🙂
As a new, first-time mom, it makes me so happy that you confessed your sins on your blog, lol. Between the mommy guilt and the PPD some days it is hard to get out of bed. I have no doubt I will serve cereal and sandwiches for dinner in the future, and it makes me happy to know that I won’t be the only one 🙂
cereal AND PB&j mixed?! Yummers!!
oh man you have saved me. my son has OCD and only eats about 5 foods. Can you guess what he eats twice a day 7 days a week. PB &J. I think he would love this.
I am totally convinced that the “saline†bag that your IV is attached to when you are in labor is actually a “guilt†bag. They pump you full of the stuff while you are in labor and it never goes away. You are forever infected.
omigosh these look heavenly! I am whipping up a batch today with my little boy! 🙂 Thanks for the idea. I am soo looking forward to working with you on this 'Spring Party' 🙂 -Shelley {HowDoesShe.com}
I have literally bookmarked enough of your recipes to flood my tab 😉 But I guess I should thank you for that 😀
I admire the work you do with royal icing and sugar cookies. Maybe one day you can give me some pointers as my royal icing experience wasn't a fantastic one 🙂
I know what mommy guilt is and the state of chronic worry/fear something bad may happen or I am screwing up their life. I tell my friends about this and that they are strong enough to handle it b/c it is soooo worth it. No one told me… they just told me the good stuff. So I hear ya there!!
Umm, your blog is CUTE! I will be a follower for sure.

LOL, what? I'm a supermom! I know what you mean about the guilt. Btw, I wish my kiddos liked cereal or pb&j's but that could be my fault 'cause I never liked them either.

first of all, those look SO delicious. PB&J is my staple of choice!
thanks for the post, you said it way better than I ever could.
I hear ya, it's never easy and you are always second guessing yourself. BUT I have learned to let things go…the house isn't going to be spotless and my kids might play a little more video game time than I like. And if I want to bake cupcakes, the laundry can wait!
Thanks for your words of wisdom. And the PB&J krispies look good!!! Might have to try there. Or maybe just use peanut butter, yum!
Okay…YUM! Just YUM!
I'm so happy I'm not the only one! Thanks for the recipe. My son will LOVE these. He can eat PB&J for every meal, if I let him. 🙂
Guilt is not a member of my family. I am grateful for each and everyday that I have with my husband and children. Our maxim: life is a journey not a competition.
Rice Krispies treat look yummy.

Well, I am not a mommy yet…but it sounds like I'kll have a lot of guilt to look forward to!!! And I eat cereal for dinner all the time!!!
Thanks for writing this post, I must have needed to hear it today!
I don't know how that guilt gets hammered in, but it's there! And even when you try not to let it in, it's comes creeping up on you. So thanks for the wisdom and yummy recipe and I'll try to forget my 10 month old had pizza last night for dinner and again at breakfast 😉
Betcha – LOL! Great comment and so true!
