These are seriously so good. I saw them last year on one of my all time favorite blogs Made, and I knew that we would love them. They are as easy to make as the traditional Rice Krispies but with just a few added ingredients to take them over the top.
We gave these out to some friends and neighbors last year for Christmas and they were a big hit.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Roll
Slightly Adapted from Made
1 package Mini Marshmallows ( I used a package or Large Marshmallows this time)
1/4 cup Butter
1/4 cup Peanut Butter
1/4 cup Butter
1/4 cup Peanut Butter
6 cups Rice Krispies
1 1/3 cup Chocolate Chips
3/4 cup Peanut Butter Chips
1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
2. In a large bowl, microwave the marshmallows, butter, and peanut butter for about 2 minutes or until melted.
3. Add in the Rice Krispies and stir to combine.
4. Smoosh the Rice Krispie mixture onto the cookie sheet until it covers the bottom.
5. In a small bowl, microwave the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips until melted, about 2 minutes.
- Watch them carefully and stir around the one minute mark, they burn easily.

6. Spread the chocolate goodness over the Rice Krispie layer and then roll up like a jelly roll starting from the short end until it's in one log. I like to then squish it and roll it a little more until it has stretched into a skinny log.
7. Put in the refrigerator until firm. Slice and serve.
This is how all of my photo sessions end when I'm taking pictures of goodies. Notice how she got away with two of them. Smart girl.
We absolutely love this game. Reed and I play a lot of games together and we're trying to brain wash our kids into loving games starting them young. This is a game that we love to play as a family. The grownups actually like playing this game as much as the kids. Addie has been playing this game since she was three, all you need to know are colors to play.
You don't really see wood stamps like these anymore, but I think they are still just as fun for little ones to play with. I have some old stamps I gave Addie but I think she'd like the pictures on these stamps better than the boring old ones I had.
I'm excited to try this game, I've been watching and reading the reviews for a while waiting for a birthday or Christmas to get it. The game board is over 6 feet long and you get to work together to solve a mystery. I'm hoping this will be another game our family can play together.
I'm getting Addie one of these for Christmas and I think she'll LOVE it. She already has fun playing with stickers and reusable sticker pads are even better. This one comes in a lot of different styles which makes it a little harder to pick. Plus I think I'll have a lot of fun playing with this too...
We are constantly playing with Duplos and I think these Disney Princess legos would be extra exciting for Addie. If we didn't have a little 18 month old who has to playing with everything Addie has I would probably start giving her regular legos but for now they are both happy with Duplos. If you already have some Duplos then this 
there so I might have to splurge because they are too adorable.
We first found out about Wikki Stix while eating at The Original Pancake House. They give kids a small package of these to play with instead of crayons and a coloring page. Addie sat entertained the entire time we were waiting for our food and then at home she continued to play with them. They are just pieces of string that have been coated in wax so you can bend them and stick them together anyway you want. These would be a great stocking stuffer or something to take to restaurants to keep the little ones busy.
This is one of Gracie's favorite books right now. All the flaps have been taped back on because we have read and lifted the flaps so many times. She asks to read this "more! more!".
This is one of the most played with toys in this house. If you have a baby or toddler then the ball popper is a very safe bet. We also put pom poms in the popper and watch them explode everywhere.
We don't have any of these mega bloks but they are the hands down favorite when we go to the library for story time. I might have to add one of these to the list.
Little People play sets are always a hit around here. We have this airplane and it gets filled up with toys and pushed through the house.
I remember reading this book when I was little and I still love it today. Apparently they decided to 
This is a sweet short book about Thanksgiving day. The illustrations are my favorite part. Addie loves looking at all the people and figuring out what they're doing.
Addie thinks this book is hilarious. We have a lot of fun reading the little rhyme and looking at all the funny turkeys. Definitely for the younger crowd. 
This is also a book from my past. Instead of illustrations the book has pictures of a young girl reenacting a day in Pilgram times. Addie enjoys looking at the pictures and I think it gives her a better idea of what it was like to be a Pilgram.
