Holiday Treats

Microwave Caramel

1 cube BUTTER (not marg.) at room temp.

1/2 c sugar

1/2 c brown sugar

1/2 c Karo syrup

1/2 can (14oz size) sweetened condensed milk

*Stir together until there are no lumps and it is smooth. Microwave for 6 minutes. POUR out the mixture in a greased or waxed lined 8x8 inch pan. DON'T SCRAPE the bowl out. For some reason it changes the consistency. So just get as much out as you can and then you can scrape the remainder out onto a plate for yourself for later! DO NOT DOUBLE THIS RECIPE either.

Peanut Butter Cups - or squares

1 pkg Graham crackers - finely chopped

1 c BUTTER - melted

4 c powdered sugar

2 c peanut butter

*Mix all the ingredients together and pat down in a wax lined cake pan. Melt two 8oz (the giant ones) Hershey Bars and spread over the peanut butter stuff. Chill and cut up.

These are so yummy. They taste just like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. It doesn't matter who I give them to, they LOVE them!
