1 cup peanut butter (I like crunchy)
4 cups Rice Krispies

1 pkg milk choc chips
1 pkg butterscotch chips
In large saucepan put the syrup and sugar.
Cook over medium heat stirring frequently until sugar dissolves and begins to boil.
Add peanut butter and mix well.
Add Rice Krispies and peanuts. Stir until well coated.
Put in sprayed 9/13 pan.
Melt chips in microwave. Spread evenly over the top of Krispie mixture.
Cool at room temperature for 4 hours and then cut in small squares.

*Sue had a wonderful Christmas Story prepared to share for the evening. Everyone went home with a copy and a little bag of cookies. She is doing so well! She is so happy everyone had a great time and is very sad she couldn't be there. Her every thought is for what responsibilities she has with family, friends and church. She is sad she's not able to do them. She is determined to come home and get to work as soon as possible. She has been moved out of critical care and is doing therapy from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. She is working hard!
WE LOVE SUE!!
Sue in her decked out brain bucket to

We missed all of you that weren't
able to come!
We hope to see you at the next activity.
