Halloween Crunch Bars @TinaKashian1

Hello from TINA KASHIAN! Fall is my second favorite season. (Summer is my first). I like the colorful leaves, decorations, corn mazes, hayrides, and Halloween costumes. There’s so much to do and see during the fall season. I’m a chocolate lover and when it comes to baking treats for both the younger and older members of my family, these crunch bars are popular. They are easy to make and no baking is required. Hope you give them a try!

 

Ingredients:

3 cups crispy rice cereal (any brand will do)

1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup peanut butter

½ cup maple syrup

¼ cup butter

Halloween sprinkles

 

Directions:

Line an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside. Add crispy rice cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside. In a microwave safe bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients.

 

Microwave for 25 seconds at a time until melted. Whisk until smooth. 

Pour the mixture over the crispy rice cereal and mix until combined. 

Pour into the lined baking dish. Decorate with Halloween sprinkles. 

Refrigerate for one hour or until firm. 

Cut into bars. Enjoy!

Not even her impending nuptials can keep Lucy Berberian, manager of her family-owned Kebab Kitchen, from the Jersey Shore’s annual Polar Bear Plunge. But her dive into the icy ocean is especially chilling when she finds a fellow swimmer doing the dead man’s float—for real . . .
 
Who would kill a man in cold blood during Ocean Crest, New Jersey’s most popular winter event? When Lucy learns the victim is Deacon Spooner, the reception hall owner who turned up his nose—and his price—at her wedding plans, she can’t help wondering who wouldn’t kill the pompous caterer . . .
 
Perhaps the culprit is the wedding cake baker whose career Deacon nearly destroyed? Or the angry bride whose reception he ruined? With her maid of honor, Katie, busily planning Lucy’s wedding without her, Lucy will have to get to the bottom of this cold-hearted business in time for Kebab Kitchen’s mouthwatering Christmas celebration—and before her hometown’s holiday spirit washes out to sea . . .
