Banana Nut Bread

This is my favorite banana bread recipe.

1/2 cup shortening
4 eggs
1 tsp salt
5 large ripe bananas
2 cups sugar
4 cups sifted flour
2 tsp soda
1 cup chopped walnuts

Cream shortning, sugar and eggs. Alternating smashed bananas and dry ingredients and mix well. Add chopped nuts. Pour in greased and floured bread pans and Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Makes 2 reg sized loafs.

Crispix Mix

This is one of my favorite muchie treats ever. I have only found one person who does not like it and it is my husband. But typically this is a hit with everyone.

1 cup Butter
3/4 cup Karo Syrup
1 cup Brown Sugar

Bring to boil and boil for 2 minutes.

Pour over: 1 large box Kelloggs Crispix Cereal (18 ounces)
1 bag of pecan pieces

Put in brown paper bag and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes, shake and microwave one more minute shake and serve

***I have not been able to find the 18 oz boxes of cereal so I usually buy 2 smaller ones and then just use half of the 2nd box or I use both and do the recipe 1 1/2 times****
