Tj Jensen and I plan to take to the beach this summer reading
from our TBR list as we lounge on the shores of Paradise Lake. Included on our
reading menu will be my newest beach read, Beaches
in Paradise. While a snack bag is a summertime must for any beach day, my
favorite dessert is actually a dessert that doesn’t do well at the beach, but
is a perfect treat after you get home. I call this yummy summertime treat Fudge
Sundae Pie. Enjoy the recipe below.
Fudge Sundae Pie
Crust:
¼ cup light corn syrup
2 tbs. brown sugar
3 tbs. butter
2½ cups Rice Krispies cereal
Combine corn syrup, brown sugar, and butter in saucepan. Cook over medium heat until it boils. Pour over Rice Krispies. Stir together and then press into buttered pie plate.
Topping:
½ cup peanut butter
½ cup chocolate fudge sauce such as Hershey’s syrup
3 tbs. corn syrup
(Note: I often make extra topping and pile it on thick. It’s up to you.)
Mix together and spread on piecrust. Layer in softened ice cream. I use vanilla, but coffee or chocolate works as well. Top with Hershey’s syrup.
Freeze for 2–3 hours.
About Beaches in Paradise:
Tj Jensen’s life is
thrown into turmoil when a good friend turns up missing after a serious auto
accident. Not only is the driver of the vehicle, Gina Roberts, nowhere to be
found, but she’s the prime suspect in the murder of her passenger, Striker
Bristow.
He didn’t die from injuries relating to the accident. He was shot in the back.
With Roy out of town and Kate running the show, Tj finds herself again excluded from the official investigation. She knows it would be wise not to anger the new deputy, who seems to be looking for a reason to have her arrested, but Tj knows that time is of the essence and the stakes are high.
She enlists the help of her friends to accomplish the impossible and find the woman who seems to have simply disappeared.

I love flavored tea in the winter.
DeleteI usually don't snack while I'm reading because I don't want to get the book dirty. I do like to sip on a nice cold can of diet Pepsi though. Thanks for the chance to win your book. ckmbeg (at) gmail (dot) com
ReplyDeleteI enjoy a can of Pepsi every now and again as well.
DeleteI don't often snack when reading, but my favorite is potato chips. It is an awful kind of indulgence in salty, crispy, nibbling that is wickedly satisfying to me.
ReplyDeletelittle lamb lst at yahoo dot com
Ice cream and potato chips are my favorites as well.
DeleteIt depends on whether I'm in a sweet or salt mood - ice cream or potato chips. But, if I'm trying to be good, I'll nibble on granola with fruit and salted nuts which covers both.

Ice cream or potato chips are two of my favorites as well.

I really love the salty snacks like potato chips and nuts.
DeleteSnacking on bruschetta is my favorite thing. Reading with a hot latte and this treat makes my day. elliotbencan(at)hotmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteOh yes a latte.
DeleteTo be quite honest. We'll snack on whatever is in the fridge. We've also been known to just grab the jar of peanut butter and a tablespoon and dig in. We are trying very hard to break that habit. LOL

Peanut butter is a healthy snack so I say go for it.
DeleteSnack while reading would be a jar of peanut butter and a spoon. I would definitely use extra topping!
ReplyDeleteksurp@att.net
I do the peanut butter and spoon thing as well.
DeleteAnything I can eat with my (free) hand, so as not to get schmutz on the pages: pretzels are the optimal option.

Double tasking. I like that.
