Hello! Welcome to Keeping Up with the Joneses. Thanks for stopping by! We're a young couple living in the East Arkansas/Memphis area otherwise known as The Delta, with a love for family, friends, faith and food.

We believe that some of the best memories are created at home around the dinner table, and when entertaining those you love. This little blog is where I share recipes, wine, our home and our life. Enjoy! -Kendall

What You'll Find:

I love to try new recipes. In fact, I rarely make the same thing twice. I'm a bona-fide cookbook collector, Pinterest addict and magazine aficionado. On the blog, you'll see what I've got cooking.

I love wine, y'all, so from time to time I feature bottles I've loved. Crafts and decorating our little house are passions of mine, so you may see some of that. Thanks for stopping by!

Almond Bark Drop Cookies

The holidays are a perfect excuse for excessive baking and over-indulging, as if I ever need a reason! I've been baking a lot of goodies over the last couple of days. Here's a recipe for one of my favorite treats that also happens to be one of the easiest to make! My friend Lauren brought these treats to a cookie exchange I had a few years ago and I've been making them ever since. Thanks, Lauren!

Almond Bark Drop Cookies

Ingredients:
2 packages of white almond bark coating
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
2 cups Rice Krispies
4 cups miniature marshmallows

Melt the bark in a microwave for 2 minutes, stir and microwave 2 minutes more until melted. Stir in peanut butter until well combined and smooth. Add remaining ingredients. Drop by tablespoons on wax paper and allow to harden.

These are insanely good, but this recipe makes a ton! If you are taking a bunch to an event or giving as gifts, the amount listed above is perfect. It would be easily halved for your family, or you can freeze extras in an airtight container.
