Salted Peanut Chews




 I made these for my honey yesterday.  I wanted to make him something special so I made him his favorite soup (the chorizo and lima bean soup I posted about a month or 2 ago) and then I wanted to make him something extra yummy.  I have posted these before, but it must have been 2 years ago.  They were always a favorite among my co-workers.  They are a 3-layer bar with a crust, them melted marshmallows, then the crispy peanut topping.  You can be creative with it and use any kind of nuts and chips, Mel chose the butterscotch chips (my favorite too) and I chose the peanuts just because they are the cheapest nuts (I would have preferred pecans).  We both really loved these, and I will definitely make it again!

Apple - Raisin - Caramel - Pecan - Cinnamon Rolls








I got out of bed a little bit earlier than usual to make these for my precious husband yesterday morning.  He said they are the best cinnamon rolls he has ever tasted!  This is a very good recipe.  You could use either apples or raisins, but we love both, so I used both.  These are very easily a 10, and I will make them often!! I had to throw in the pics of our cat Ryker.  He was a good helper!  And don't worry, I always clean my counter really good before using them!  Too bad I didn't get a very good pic of the finished product, the caramel-pecan topping looks so dark.  I actually cooked the rolls a little longer after the photo of the pan since they were still a bit underdone. Well, getting ready for church, so I'd better go.  Mel & I are going to have these very yummy rolls for our breakfast!!
