Here's a last minute quick and easy candy receipe

Here is a very simple and quick receipe with only four ingredients (three for me, as I don't put in the peanuts) and a favorite of all in my household. I don't know how many batches I made for Ben when he was in college, and both he and Mark like miniature marshmallows added to theirs.

HAYSTACK CANDIES

1 cup butterscotch chips

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup peanuts (I omit these as I think its peanuty enough with the peanut butter)

2 cups crunchy chow mein noodles

Microwave the butterscotch chips and peanut butter on 50% power for 3 to 5 minutes stirring until mixture is smooth. Add peanuts and chow mein noodles and blend to coat noodles thoroughly. Drops by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper. Once firm, store in an airtight container.
Enjoy!

This is what I discovered today when out walking. The culvert is at the end of the little pond and I was amazed at all of the ice and its thickness. Water was still spilling out from under the massive chunk of ice on the right hand side.

The pond is now "dressed for winter".

All kinds of animals tracks today in the new snow. We got about 3 inches from the last storm. Just enough.

Ledges in the woods behind our property. That is all ice covering the ledges!

Its kind of hard snowshoeing through here now with the blueberry bushes all poking through the snow. Last winter we snowshoed over snow OVER the bushes, that tells you how much we had last winter. This is looking towards the back of our house.

Definitely not going anywhere til spring!
