um.......


peanut butter ?..


I'm joking, don't do anything just serve them in a really cool way. Peanuts need no fancy tricks, people love them as is.
Carmel apple dip: mix 8 oz of cream cheese with a 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth, add a 1/2 cup of coarsely chopped peanuts. Dip sliced apple.
***PEANUTS AND POPCORN





2 quarts popped corn


2 tablespoons butter


2 cups brown sugar


1/2 cup water


1/2 teaspoon salt


1 cup peanuts, shelled and split





Put butter in saucepan, and when melted add sugar, salt, and water. Bring to boiling point and let boil 16 minutes. Stir in peanuts. Pour over corn, and stir until every kernel is well coated with mixture.





***PEANUT BUTTER TOASTIES





One slice of white bread per Toastie


Peanut Butter


Cinnimon Sugar





This is a great recipe for kids! They have fun making them and eating them! Use your hands to lightly flatten the slice of bread. Spread a thin layer of peanut butter over top and then sprinkle with desired amount of cinnimon sugar. Next roll the bread up tightly and pinch edges. Place in toaster oven and toast on light or medium setting. When the ';toasties'; are ';Toastie'; enough for you, take them out and brush a little more cinnimon sugar on top. Now you can either eat the Toastie as a log or cut it about four times to create pinwheels. CAUTION: The peanut butter inside can get very HOT!! So be careful! Enjoy!
