It finally decided to warm up here in Tennessee, and by warm up, I mean it went from 30 degrees to 80 degrees in two days! Did we completely skip spring and go straight to summer?!? It sure seems like it, but I won’t complain because I am so tired of the cold. Of course, I may have complained a little about it being so hard to run in the heat ;). I’ve been whipping up no-bake desserts so I don’t have to turn my oven on. Rice Krispy Treats are pretty much the perfect no-bake dessert in my opinion, but I wanted to make something I could blog about so I decided to spice it up a little by making Butterfinger Rice Krispy Treats instead. I kept it simple by mixing some crushed candy into traditional Rice Krispy Treats and then topped them with some melted chocolate and more crushed butterfinger. They were really good and I didn’t even have to heat up my kitchen =). Enjoy!
