No guns, no gangs, no PB&J

A school in South Pasadena has banned peanut butter and jelly sandwiches from the premises. It seems that so many students have developed peanut allergies that childhood's favorite sandwich is now a health hazard. That's tragic, because peanut butter is a Food Of The Gods.

PEANUT BUTTER KRISPY BARS

1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 cup smooth peanut butter
7 cups Rice Krispies

Combine corn syrup, sugar and butter in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and add peanut butter, stirring until melted. Pour the Rice Krispies into a large bowl, then pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal. Stir until mixed well. Spread in a greased 9x13-inch pan and press down lightly. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

Currently:
52.7 degrees F
a brief respite between spring storms
hoping to catch a catnap before tonight's Lost

These ARE amazing. Don't hate, but I'm eating one as I *mmph* type. My sister too had violent reactions to peanuts and their derivatives. As a kid, I coveted such items as a criminal narcotic.
