I Love Pressure Cookers!
I feel that it is my duty to tell everyone that this is completely worth every cent!  I even got rid of one of my medium sized crock pots & rice cooker because this baby does it ALL!  You can currently purchase them from Cosco for 69.99, online and anywhere else you will probably pay closer to 100.00. 

This cuts your cooking time down by more than half!  It's HEALTHY!  It's FUN! It's CLEAN! It's FAST!
I will be posting recipes using this specific electric pressure cooker!

Perfect Holiday Snacker!

This recipe has been in the family for YEARS! It is our favorite treat to have during holiday's and really ANY time of year. It is SOOOO simple.



Crispix Mix


Ingredients:

2 cubes of Butta!
2 cups of Brown Sugar
1/2-3/4 cup light Karo Syrup
1 box Crispix Cereal

Supplies Needed:

1 Saucepan
1 Brown Paper Grocery Bag
Foil
Spatula & Bowl
**In a saucepan, heat the butter, sugar, and karo syrup till boiling.
**While you are waiting for the stove-top mixture to come to a boil, dump 1 box of Crispix cereal into brown paper bag and have it ready to poor your sauce into.
** Once your mixture has started to boil, poor into bag with cereal. Roll up the bag and give it a few good shakes each direction!
**Put into microwave for 3 minutes. After each minute passes, take out bag and shake again(be careful not to burn yourself, use hot pads if necessary).
**During this stage, prepare your foil on the counter. Lay out enough foil for the mix to be spread on. Usually two sheets the length of a jelly roll pan is plenty.
**Once the 3 minutes has finished, carefully dump out bag onto foil. Mixture will be VERY hot.
**Use a spatula to spread and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
Once cooled, put the mix into a fun bowl for snacking!


Enjoy!

You will not stop eating this!
