Let the summer fun begin! I am on a quest for you this WHOLE summer looking for ideas of quality, thrifty, and most of all quantity items! With the kids at home, and food prices rising, it is no wonder families are having a hard time surviving!
There just doesn't seem to be enough money in the budget to plan a day excursion let alone a family trip. But with a few ideas here you can lessen the food bill and squeeze that dollar a bit further, setting aside a few dollars to enjoy some family fun. Why not try to stash away a few dollars saving on all those Little Debbie or Hostess snacks you fill your cart with by making these? These are power packed with protein and this simple recipe makes 64 delicious, NO BAKE treats.
Then with a bit of cash on your hand, why not look into a National Park near you for a family day trip? The weather isn't soupy with humidity yet and you can get a fun day in hiking or cool off at a nearby stream, ocean, or river.
1 tsp. plus 1/4 cup butter or margarine divided
1/4 cup pancake syrup
2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups of mini chocolate chips, peanuts, or coconut

Stir in peanut butter until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla. Spread in pan and refrigerate two hours.
Place chips, peanuts, or coconut in separate bowls. You choose which ever is on hand. Take candy out of pan and remove foil. Cut into 64 even squares. Roll into balls and roll into chips, peanuts, and/or coconut. Place in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
