Best results flour recipe

I found this recipe here and modified it by adding xanthan gum. I like how it has sorghum in it. I tried it making my fabulous pizza crust recipe and it was a real winner! Today I am baking it in a cake and we shall see how that goes.

Halloween Rice Krispie Treats

I like making these at Halloween time. They are perfect for giving away or making for a Halloween party. I found the recipe here. 

Halloween Rice Krispie Treats
INGREDIENTS
6 cups Cocoa Krispies (I use GF kind)
5-¼ ounces, weight Reese's Pieces
3 Tablespoons Butter
⅓ cups Peanut Butter
10-½ ounces, weight Mini Marshmallows

HOW TO PREPARE:

Grease a 9×13” pan.

Pour the Cocoa Krispies and Reese’s Pieces in a large bowl.

Melt the butter and peanut butter in a saucepan. Add the marshmallows. When almost completely melted, pour over the Cocoa Krispies. Quickly combine the mixture and pour into the prepared pan. Press down (you may need to put a plastic bag over your hand so your fingers don’t stick).

Cut into squares or desired serving pieces.
