Chewy Peanut Butter Squares

are you excited to vote today?

are you more excited
to stop seeing political ads
in your mailbox
and on your television?


i'll be heading out
to th one-booth polling station
in my small town
in just a little while
to cast my vote

and later
my kids will be working on
their election lapbooks
by filling in their electoral maps
as the evening wears on

and to get us through
the long night ahead
we might just
be munching on these


this recipe
was given to me
by my friend and fellow homeschool mum, Cori

and it has become a family favorite
eliciting squeals of delight
from one and all
(plus, the kids like it too)

plus
it's a quick and easy thing
to whip up

to make
you will need

1/2 c. light corn syrup
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla
3 c. rice cereal
1 c. salted peanuts

In a medium saucepan
bring syrup and sugar to boil

remove from heat and
stir in peanut butter and vanilla

and blend well

into a square pan and cool

your happy family
