Divinity Rice Krispy Treats

Oh my gosh, have I got a winner for you today. Get ready for this one people.

My husband is out of town for work this week. I hate it when he's gone, not only because I miss him, but also because that means my standard of eating decreases about tenfold. Somehow graham crackers dipped in frosting becomes breakfast. Cereal is considered a totally well balanced meal. Peanut Butter gets spread on everything. Everything.

So my husband has been on this diet the past few weeks. One of those kind where the meals are all planned out for you in nice individual servings, yada yada. He's lost weight on it and I'm really happy for him and everything... my only problem is that there's no one to eat rice krispy treats with me. Traitor. I mean I can't throw these things away, there are starving people in this world! When consulting the scale I’m pretty sure my marshmallow intake has gone up about 200%. These hips don’t lie people. Not only that but my holiday baking has been at an all time low. Ahhh... eating healthy. It's so hard. And I'm not even the one doing it.

My little girl will go down for a nap and I'll have this mental list of all the things I want to get done in my hour of freedom. Cleaning, paying bills, organizing, etc, etc. Then I decide I'm going to "quickly" check my email first... next thing I know I hear crying and I realize I've spent the entire naptime online looking at recipes. Ahhh, again?... really Summer?

So Thanksgiving is coming up, which means I am wasting about double the amount of time looking at recipes. I'm not even bringing the turkey, yet I have 10 different variations currently bookmarked. I mean there is the basic salt and pepper but then we get into brining flavors, injection sauces, dry rubs, compound butters, glazes...
