Frugal In Florida

We usually watch FoodTV in the morning both Saturday and Sunday as we putz around getting the bedroom cleaned up and in the kitchen doing stuff ... sometimes I get a little inspiration and other times I get a complete recipe ;-) Another keeper that I picked up from FoodTV's Trisha Yearwood show ... most of her recipes are super simple to make and use everyday ingredients that you probably already have in stock!  That's what makes this one another winner! I'm trying really hard to NOT buy premade sweet stuff for the house as I have a HARD time saying no ... but if I have to mix up a bunch of ingredients and PREPARE the sweet treat, I'm ok with that ... at least I know exactly whats in there! This recipe is really simple, and chances are,  you have everything to whip up a batch right this second 1 1/2 sticks of butter, melted 2 cups of pretzel sticks, crushed (um, I tossed mine in the Vitamix and gave it a quick whirl) 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar 1 cup plus ...

I've no idea where I got this from (if it's yours, please let me know!) I am thinking that these might be an excellent quick snack to eat before the gym for that extra energy boost instead of those protein bars with a gazillion ingredients listed. That's the problem with going after work, been at least 3 hours since a meal and tired from the 8 hours of work. I figure that since I have everything in house (stockpiled too with the great deals on peanut butter and Cheerios) it would just be a heck of a lot cheaper than buying the Pure Protein bars from Costco (at Hubby's request recently) ... plus I'm a little happier with the fact that it only has 6 ingredients (well, except the extra stuff in powdered milk and cheerios) ... so it's got to be healthier! 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup peanut butter 1/3 cup dry milk (oy, another recipe to use up this dry milk I have!) 1 tsp lemon juice 1 1/2 cup Cheerios 2/3 cup sunflower seeds Mix all everything except the Cheerio...
