Rice Krispy Treats are a classic childhood dessert. It was a special night in our house when mom pulled out the ingredients to make a batch, and you can bet they were gone by the next day. I wanted to jazz up the classic recipe so I went on a recipe search. Up came this recipe that included peanut butter in the krispy mix, with a dunk in melted chocolate to finish it off. They are deliciously addictive.

My recipe for Chicken Pesto Pizza has got to be one of my most popular recipes.  It tastes wonderful and impresses everyone who tries it. What is most great about it though, is how easy it is to make. I utilize pre-made pizza dough from a local chain, Papa Murphy’s.
