It’s January 27th.
This day stands out to me for
a few reasons.
1)- It’s the day Boy proposed to me. Yep, just 2 short months from the time I brought him home to meet the family to the time we decided to take our relationship to forever. We’ve had our issues (believe me we’ve had our issues) but I’ll keep it all as they have helped us understand one another and allowed us to grow closer than I ever thought possible. Love you, Boy.
2)-It’s the birthday of: my oldest brother, (Happy Birthday Jon) a good friend from high school, (Happy Birthday, Tiffany) and as I logged onto facebook this morning I saw that it was the birthday of not only a few of my real life friends but also of some of my new online friends (Happy Birthday friends)
3)-It’s a day that in the past has hosted the super bowl. (Random I know but it all ties in.) As many of you know, I live in Indianapolis. Home of the 2012 Super Bowl and today marks the beginning of the events that our great city will be hosting.
To help kick off that event as well as say happy birthday to my brother (and everyone else) and commemorate the day Boy and I decided to join our family traditions together and be married…I’m giving you….
Snickerdoodle
Delights
It’s a recipe that my family has been making for YEARS and
one I was completely stoked to introduce to Boy as we began planning our life
together. It’s also one of my brother’s favorite desserts (at least I remember
it was- hopefully it still is) AND I think it would make an awesome addition to
your super bowl spread. How’s that for tying it all together?
I’m not really sure how my family came up with the name; Snickerdoodle Delights. The treat has absolutely nothing to do with snickerdoodles. I think perhaps they have more to do with a Snickers candy bar than anything else and so explains the “snicker” part of snickerdoodle.
These have a soft cakey crust with a layer of roasted marshmallows topped with a caramel-ish, peanuty, crunchy top that makes these little ditties incredibly difficult to resist….even for my peanut allergy kids. They are usually pretty good about rejecting peanut treats, but this gets them loathing their allergy every time I whip them up. For their sake, I rarely make them. Hopefully allergies will not restrict you from enjoying these delights.
