Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Rice #LoveEveryMinute

LOVEEVERYMINUTE

 

I love Minute Rice!  When I was growing up we always ate alongside pot roast with carrots and potatoes, and it was always served with butter and sugar on top! Yum!

Now Minute Rice is making it even faster and easier for you to make a great meal at home or on the go with their Minute® Ready to Serve Rice products.  Each package includes two 4.4 oz cups that are ready to serve in 60 seconds, and they come in the following varieties: [Read more…]

One Pan Fudge Cake

One Pan Fudge Cake

 

As you know I’m a huge chocolate fan! This week I’ve got a delicious cake that any chocolate lover will adore!   This One Pan Fudge Cake is super easy to make!  You conveniently place the ingredients in the pan you will make it in (no mixing bowls, no stirring; hence the name “one pan fudge cake.’)  And it comes out perfectly moist!  Then I like to top it with a jar of Hershey’s Hot Fudge Topping, but you also top it with your favorite frosting if you prefer that.  Then I like to serve it hot with ice cream or whipped topping.  But you can also let it cool, and it’s just as good!

And did I mention this is a perfect dessert for a cold winter’s day?  Just try it and you’ll see!

I’ve been seeing and hearing about Rolo Pretzel Candy for years, but I’ve never been at a party where it was served or tried it myself.  I finally decided to change that, and I loved it!  Not only are they tasty, but they cook up in about 5 minutes, making them the perfect treat for parties or everyday snacking!

Guest Post: Hot Chocolate Floats from Keri at Shaken Together

Today we have another fun guest post! This one is from Keri at shaken together, and she’s made us a yummy treat:  Hot Chocolate Floats.  Take it away Keri!

Hi there, Simply Sweet Home friends!  My name is Keri and I blog over at shaken together!!

Shaken Together

It’s my home away from home where I share recipes, easy crafts/DIY projects, giveaways, a weekly link party and snippets of our life with 12 years of marriage and counting, two kids and two cats … you know, our life, shaken together!  I would love to connect with you at my blog, on FacebookTwitter or Pinterest!

Today, I am so excited that Jerri invited me to share one of our family’s favorite holiday treats …

There is nothing better than a rich mug of hot chocolate on a cold night, right?!  Well, unless it is topped with a scoop of ice cream, sprinkles and maybe a drizzle of hot fudge!

Whip up a batch of hot chocolate – you can use instant mix, I won’t judge – but there are tons of easy recipes for homemade hot chocolate that will probably rock your socks off 🙂  I am dying to try this hot chocolate mix from Something Swanky!

Anyway, gather your mugs and fill about 2/3 full with your hot chocolate.  Add a scoop of ice cream (we used peppermint!) and sprinkle on your favorite toppings.  I added a drizzle of warm hot fudge and festive holiday sprinkles!

This is seriously the best of both worlds … an ice cream sundae and a sweet steamy mug of hot chocolate!!

Jerri, thanks so much for the opportunity to share this sweet treat with your readers!  Hope to see you all again soon!  And happy, happy holidays!

Thanks again to Keri for posting here today!
