Lime Rickey Drinks

Jamica (HW 2012)

1 can grape juice frozen concentrate
1-2 2-liter bottles of Sprite
Lime wedges (1-2 per drink)

Fill glass with ice. Scoop a heaping spoonful of frozen concentrate into each (can thaw a bit) glass. Pour Sprite over it. Squeeze a few lime wedges into each glass and serve.

Sweet and Sticky Chex Mix (tarryn)

Really fast and easy to make. This has become my go-to dessert when I remember at the last minute I am supposed to bring a treat (and I seem to forget often).

1 medium box Rice Chex

1/2 C shredded coconut

1 small bag sliced almonds (about 2/3 C)

1 small bag M&Ms

1 C butter

1 1/2 C Karo Syrup

1 1/2 C sugar

1/2 tsp salt

In a large bowl, toss together Chex, coconut, and almonds. Set aside.

Combine butter, Karo, and sugar in a saucepan, bring to a boil, and boil for 5 minutes. Take off the heat and stir in 1 tsp vanilla.

Pour over cereal mixture and stir well, making sure everything is well-coated. Wait a few minutes before adding the M&Ms. If you add them too soon they will melt, but if you wait too long they won't stick. Add whatever the heck you want, it all works.
