About Me
- Diane
- I love my life. I'm contented enough to be relaxed and discontented enough to quest. I want to see it all, smell it all and touch it all and through writing I can. I'm especially grateful for the gospel in my life. I don't need to search anymore. I can get on with perfecting talents and abilities.

Eat...more!!,
Welcome to those of you who have never been to my blog or those who haven't been here in a while. Feel free to look around and leave comments if you want.
An amazing friend I met when I was sorting through my late brother's things [Hi Leanne]posted on Facebook yesterday, "Got my Eatmore! Yummy!" Immediately I was transported to a time and place that will live forever in my memory - eating an Eatmore bar outside in the winter. Eyes half-closed, cool clean fresh winter air softly tickling my lashes, the taste of that chewy, sticky, peanutty bar - that was heaven on earth for a young girl - no doubt about it!!!
For Leanne and my new friends [anyone who loves Eatmore has GOT to be an instant friend] Doreen and Annette here's the recipe I have:
Note - I'll give it as I got it then add my comments below.
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
Mix with a spatula and put in microwaveable 3L casserole dish in the microwave for 5-6 minutes on high power. Mix a couple of times during cooking.
Remove from microwave and add:
1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies
3/4 cup chopped peanuts
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
Mix well and put in greased 9x13 pan. Let cool and enjoy!
My comments - when I first looked at this recipe I thought it was a little too 'hippie type nuts and seeds' for me. I messed around a little and used chunky peanut butter, and no seeds. I might have added a bit more cereal to make up for the lack of seeds - it's been a while so I don't remember exactly. I would suggest making it as close to the original recipe as you can the first time then mess with it once you know what it's like. Fair enough?
Also when it is half-way cooled score it with a sharp knife for easy cutting later.
And when it's all cooled and you're ready to sample it, grab a jacket and hat, take a piece outside, close your eyes and breathe in some cool clean fresh winter air with every bite;)
