Consumer Cafe: Candy Corn Marshmallow Rice Krispie Treats

October 4th, 2013

I quadruple love this time of year! So excited for Halloween and the fall season. Here is a yummy recipe from Kraft that incorporates candy corn into rice krispie treats for a fun Halloween treat!

Candy Corn Marshmallow Rice Krispie Treats

  • 1/4 cup  butter
  • 6 cups  JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows
  • 12 drops  yellow food coloring
  • 4 drops  red food coloring
  • 6 cups  KELLOGG’S® RICE KRISPIES® cereal
  • 2 cups  candy corn

MICROWAVE butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 45 sec. or until melted. Add marshmallows; toss to coat. Microwave 1-1/2 min. or until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring in food colorings after 45 sec.

ADD cereal and candy corn; mix well. Press onto bottom of 13×9-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray.

COOL completely before cutting into 12 bars. Cut each bar diagonally in half.

Glam Alert: Boots No. 7 Pampering Dry Oil Body Spray

October 3rd, 2013

You should know by now if you are a regular to my blog, that I love Boots No. 7 products. My latest find is the Pampering Dry Oil Body Spray.

At the beginning of summer I told you about Vaseline Spray and Go Moisturizer. The Boots No. 7 Pampering Dry Oil Body Spray is very similar to the Vaseline because it dries quickly and doesn’t leave your skin oily. I like the Vaseline because it is an aerosol spray. However, the bottle doesn’t last that long on me before it runs out. They are both around the same price, but the Boots No. 7 I would guess will last me at least 4 times longer than the Vaseline. This is just a guess. I just know I have been using the Boots for about a month and have barely used any – whereas before I don’t think the Vaseline would last even a month.

From Boots:

Gives skin an instant boost with just a few spritzes of this body oil. Softening Almond oil and nourishing Vitamin E combine to smooth and hydrate your skin with the sumptuous fragrance notes of Vanilla and White Florals. This luxurious formula absorbs instantly to leave skin supple and simply irresistible.

I now really prefer using a dry oil spray on my arms and legs as opposed to a lotion. I’ll let you know once I get the really dry winter skin if it still holds up!

chasing-fireflies.com is one of my favorite children’s clothing sites.

You know you have to get these ordered early before they run out!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bath and Body Works Scentportables

October 1st, 2013

I love Bath and Body Works. I’ve been a huge fan for years. One of my latest additions to the many things I buy there are the scentportables. They are air fresheners for your car.

 

First you need the holder. I have this cute pumpkin one in my car now with a yummy pumpkin scent. All of your favorite Bath and Body Scents come in the portables.

 

But they have many plain ones, themed ones, and just plain cute ones.  Here are just a few.

My husband has a plain black one in his vehicle, and they have many manly scents for the guys.

I love having a fresh, clean scent, and since the holder clips onto your visor, you can always smell the scentportable!

An added bonus is that Bath and Body Works always has buy so many – get so many free – there’s always a sale, and always a coupon! So stock up. I’m anxiously awaiting the Christmas holders! Do I need to mention what a cute gift this would be? I’ve actually given these portables as gifts and they are a big hit.
