Christmas Candy

Dear Reese,
We make Christmas Candy before bathtime tonight. A tradition and my favorite. It’s Nana’s recipe, and I’ve made it with MorMor my whole life.
The combination is perfect and simple. I’ll document the recipe for you so it doesn’t get lost to time:
2 pounds white baking chocolate
2 cups peanut butter
2 cups salted Spanish peanuts
5 cups Rice Krispies
Directions: Melt white chocolate. Mix in other ingredients. Drop by spoonful onto wax paper. Let set.
Easy, delicious, and I guess I was craving the flavor tonight.
We were also killing a little time since you took a three-hour nap this afternoon, and I knew going to bed at actual bedtime was out of the question. You’ve still been struggling with sleep as you recover from being sick and spent half of last night in my bed.
Tonight, you go to bed on a stomach of Christmas Candy and cherry Tylenol.
Love,
Mama
