Peanut Butter S'mores Mix

One of my kids new favorite treats is S'mores Mix - I found the idea HERE. Genius! SOOOO glad I found this recipe - and it literally could not be easier - in their lunch boxes, I just sprinkle some cereal in each container, then marshmallows, then chocolate and peanut butter chips! Voila!

In my family, everything tastes better with peanut butter, so while the original recipe is awesome as is, I threw some peanut butter chips in there too.

This is a new go-to for my kids. They've asked for it every week! And that's saying something folks!

1 batch of this really goes a LONG way - the list of ingredients is probably about $8 total, and it lasts for a good two weeks for my kids. VERY frugal!

What are your kids favorite lunch treats?

1 box cinnamon toast crunch cereal
1 bag mini marshmallows
1 bag chocolate chips
1 bag peanut butter chips

1. Toss all ingredients in a large bowl and gently mix with a large spoon.
2. There is no step 2 - THAT'S IT!!! :)

NOTES - I mixed all the ingredients together the first time I made this, but then I decided to just mix it up as I need it. I usually make a week's worth of lunch at one time, so I just make individual servings right in their lunch boxes for the week, and store the rest of the ingredients in the pantry.

oops-"your text here" doesn't belong...!

Chocolate-Glazed-Donut Cupcakes

Who doesn't love donuts?
Who doesn't love cupcakes?
Who doesn't love chocolate???

Ok...so who wouldn't love these three things combined into one treat???

These are fun to make, easy, and can be adapted for any occasion - holidays, birthdays, anything!

You can start with any chocolate cupcakes you'd like - homemade (recipe to be posted soon!) or a boxed mix would work fine...

24 Cupcakes
1 cup confectioners sugar
1 tsp. water
sprinkles

1. After cupcakes have cooled, mix sugar and water in a small bowl with a whisk or fork until completely mixed (no lumps!).
2. Use a spoon to drizzle glaze over the top of your cupcakes.
3. Immediately sprinkle sprinkles ( he he he) over glaze.
4. Allow to dry and enjoy!
