Last night was our three kids annual piano recital, along with all of our nieces and nephews. We do it every year, and it is something to look forward too! The evening starts by listening to all our fabulous family members ( well kids only) play us a couple of songs. There is 10 kids in all, so this takes a little bit of time. Then on to dessert! I love dessert nights, so much yumminess to choose from. This year I made this recipe for chocolate mint rice krispie squares that I found on the blog Chocolate Moosey. It is filled with delectable treats so head on over ad check her out!

- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 2 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

2. Stir in rice krispies and chocolate chips, stir until coated.
