I meant to post this a month ago after our August Stamp Club but it took me awhile to locate the photo. I have enough trouble getting decent shots of cards. Unfortunately this photo doesn't show how irresistable this snack was. Our hostess, Beth brought this and everyone wanted to recipe so I typed it into a blog post as she recited it to me.
I box 12 ounce or so Crispix cereal
1 12 ounce can of party peanuts
10-12 ounces pretzels
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup Karo syrup
Pam
12 ounces or so M&Ms to your liking.
Mix 1st three ingredients together. Set aside. Bring butter, sugar and syrup to a boil and then boil for 1 1/2 minutes. Spray Pam on the inside of a brown paper bag. Pour dry ingredients into bag and then carefully pour hot liquid. Use a spoon to mix dry ingredients with butter mixture. Close the bag and put it into the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove and stir or shake. Beth recommends stirring. Close the bag again and microwave another 1 1/2 minutes and stir. Beth repeats this process one more time for a total of three times. Spread over parchment paper. Let cool a couple of minutes and sprinkle with M&Ms.
We did take a break from munching to stamp. This is one of the cards we made:
This was done on watercolor paper with markers and the blender pens. Colors are Wild Wasabi, Real Red, and Marina Mist
We also did this card using River Rock instead of Sahara Sand DSP. I'll have to get a picture of that version sometime. As you can see coloring was our theme last month.
Oh yes, even though I gave a simpler option without all of the layers everyone chose to include the texture. The Square Lattice embossing was definitely a favorite. Here are a couple of other very simple reasons that it was on just about everyone's order:
Jeanne Mix, a member of my downline made the Deck the Halls card.
