Does anyone ever (Edit: Fetch! I hate it when I don't catch my mistakes, especially when it's 24 hours after posting!) really make those recipes they have on the back of the box?
I didn't think so.
1. Apricot Jam--With a name like Smucker's, it has to be good. (Honestly, the name Smucker's doesn't sound that appealing. Good jam, though.)
2. Leftover cream cheese frosting from Pioneer Woman's Carrot Cake. (Ree is my latest blog obsession! Anyone that can convince that it'd be fun to give up my modern comforts and fall in love with a smoldering hot cowboy and herd cows has to be someone very special, since I'm, uh, mildly terrified of cows. Shut up!)
3. Peanut butter and melted marshmallows--some assembly required. First, you take the graham. Wait, wrong recipe! (I'm on roll with the Sandlot references! "I thought you said the great bambi...") Okay, place about 6-8 crackers on a pan and spread with your choice of peaunt butter and top it off with three mini marshmallows. Place under the broiler for a few minutes until the marshmallows are golden brown. Sandwich another Ritz on top. Then you scarf. Kind of messy, but good! (Have lots of milk nearby.)
Tangent time! I love Target more than Jenna Fischer loves, well, Target. Enter here to win a $100 gift card.

I've never actively sought out Ritz crackers, but I can never avoid eating them, either. It's one of those things, I guess.
Hey: When's your birthday? It's coming up, right? Mine is on the 29th. Go Gemini!

Mine's on June 3rd. People born under the sign of Gemini are definitely superior to everyone else.

When I see a Ritz cracker, I immediately put American cheese on it, stuff it in my mouth, and consider the ordeal a culinary success. Clearly, my destiny lies in eating the food, not making it. (Great ideas, though! I'll have to try those out sometime...)

Those all sound terribly yummy to me. My favorite is cream cheese and jalepeno jelly... mmmm.

The three listed items all sound good, though I am a little bit wary of PB&M (m as in marshmellows). But I'll trust your judgement.
And like you, I love Target, too! A lot!
