    New Rhodes Guest Blog Spot…and a Giveaway!

    UPDATE AT BOTTOM OF THIS POST! Yes, I know…it’s that time again!  This is one of my favorite posts to do because making delicious recipes with Rhodes is as easy as 1…thaw, 2…cut and dip, and 3…top, rest (both the dough and me) and bake!  On a cold, rainy day, the aroma of bacon, cheese and bread filled the whole house as the boys bounded in, hungry from school and work!  Yet another delectable addiction…I mean addition…to our family’s Rhodes repertoire!  You can read all the details over at the Official Rhodes Blog. But before you go, I want you to know that I’m having a special cookbook give-away this post, courtesy of Rhodes.  This is a really fun cookbook – either if you have kids or you want to wow your guests/co-workers/friends with your amazing artistic abilities.  (My sister-in-law made a bunny for the family Easter party and it was a hugh hit!  Here’s what you need to do: Visit the Rhodes Blog and leave a comment.  Next, come back here and leave a comment…that’s two chances.  For a third chance, you can also go to the Rhodes Facebook page,  “Like” Rhodes and leave a comment.  Each comment will get your “name in the hat” for an extra chance to win – one comment per visitor per site, please.   The contest will go until noon (Pacific Time) on Saturday, April 21, 2012 and the winner will be announced later that

    Cake Batter Krispie Treats

    I’ll have to say that I don’t usually try a recipe as soon as I find one, but I was baking things for the school play treat table and came across this recipe.  It sounded easy and yummy…and cute!  I found the recipe here. Cake Batter Krispie Treats 3 Tablespoons butter 1 – 10 oz. bag miniature marshmallows 1/3 cup white cake mix – not prepared, just the dry mix 1 – 1.5 oz. container of sprinkles (Jimmies) – these are mixed colors, but you could use what ever kind you like 6 cups Rice Krispies Put parchment paper inside a 9″ x 13″ pan; set aside.  Melt the butter in a 3 qt saucepan over medium heat; add marshmallows and stir, coating with the butter, until completely melted.  Add the cake mix, a spoonful at a time, mixing well.  Don’t overheat.  Pour over the Krispies, and stir in about half the Jimmies; mix well.  Press into the pan, sprinkling the rest of the Jimmies over the top.  I butter my hands a little and then it won’t stick on my hands as I press the treats into the pan.  I wanted the Krispie Treats to be tall, so I pressed it into just half the pan…you could use a smaller pan, if you like.  When I’m doing something for a bake sale, I like to make the presentation nice.  Taste is important, but
