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.

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.

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
ReplyDeleteNoraAdrienne (at) gmail (dot) com
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.
ReplyDeletepjcoldren[at]tm.net
Double tasking. I like that.
DeleteTy for the recipe and giveaway! I usually read in bed, so I don't snack that much then, but if I do, it could be nuts, pretzels, chips or cookies. Legallyblonde1961 at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteOh cookies. I love oatmeal.
DeleteI never snack while reading. I'm totally focused on the book. Thankyou for the opportunity! minishoes(at)msn(dot)com
ReplyDeleteAny kind of junk food.
ReplyDeleteVicjorkay@yahoo.com
DeleteDon't snack a lot while reading because I might get something on the book. Especially if it's a book from the library. But, I do like potato chips and/or cookies to eat when snacking. patwalkerp(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteAnything chocolate or salty is good with me.
DeleteI don’t snack while I’m reading.
ReplyDeletesgiden at verizon(.)net
Nuts and water. Lol. Maebelluab@gmail.com

Deleteusually popcorn or nuts, but I have been known to snack on malt balls too. pwortham@msn.com
ReplyDeleteLove malt balls.
DeleteRarely snack while reading. Same with a drink. I usually get do involved that I forget I have something. And usually don't care for the distraction either. Just ask my kids. They learned how to cook out of desperation. That 'pie' looks great for today. And we have everything on hand. Yum. 93F for us today. Higher for the rest of the week. Della at deepotter (at) peoplepc (dot) com
ReplyDeleteThe pie is perfect to help cool you down on a hot day.
DeleteI, unfortunately, am a snacker. I enjoy anything from fruit to candy. Cookies, however, always win out over most anything else. robeader53(at)yahoo(dot)com
