2-3 drops of food coloring

2 cups smooth peanut butter

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups dried mild

2/3 cup honey

Mix all the ingredients until thoroughly combined.

You can add Rice Krispies, coconut, chocolate chips, Runts, and M & M's to your creations!!!
 

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup water

medium saucepan

food coloring

2 heatproof glass jars or small bowls with covers

dull table knife

DIRECTIONS:
1. Put the sugar into the pot.  Add the water, but DO NOT stir the mixture!

2.  Let the mixture come to a boil and let it boil for 1 minute, still DO NOT stir the mixture.

3.  While the mixture is boiling, add 2 - 4 drops of RED food coloring.

4.  Carefully pour the mixture into one or two glass jars or small bowls.

5.  Cover the containers.  Let them sit for two weeks without touching the jars.  (Patience is required!!!)  As the water evaporates from the sugar mixture, crystals will slowly begin to form.  Observe the candy every day.  If you see a sugary crust forming on the surface of the water, gently tap the jar or bowl  with a dinner knife to break the crust so that the water can continue to evaporate.  DO NOT SHAKE, RATTLE, OR ROLL THE CONTAINERS FOR TWO WEEKS.

6.  When the crystals are the size you want, use the table knife to separate the candy from the container.  Then, enjoy eating a piece!!!
