Scooby Snacks are no longer just a dog treat. Now, they can be enjoyed by people, too.

Remember when you used to watch the TV show Scooby Doo? Scooby was always rewarded with a “Scooby snack.” Now, the fictional treat has become a reality. It’s sweet and salty, and it’s the ultimate combination of mouth-watering tastes. This sweet treat is sure to satisfy your fix for a guilty pleasure without making your waistline suffer.

Ingredients:
1 12 oz. bag of M&M’s
1 12 oz. bag of Rolo candies or Hershey Kisses
1 9 oz. bag of pretzels (any shape, but Snyder’s Butter Snaps work the best)
Instructions:
   Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place pretzels out on a cooking sheet, but be sure to make sure they don’t overlap.
   Next, unwrap the Rolos or Hershey Kisses. This is the most tedious and time consuming part of the recipe, but be patient as you work through it because it is worth the reward.
   Once you have finished unwrapping the candy, place one on top of every pretzel so that by the time you are finished, all the pretzels on your cookie sheet have a delicious piece of chocolate on top of them.
   Place the pretzels and chocolate in the oven, allowing the chocolates to slightly melt. It’s not an exact science, but this should take no more than five minutes.
   After you take the slightly melted chocolates and pretzels out of the oven, it’s time to work quickly. Take an M&M and press it into the top of the piece of melted chocolate. Be sure not to apply too much pressure.
Once you have finished placing the M&Ms onto the Rolos or Hershey Kisses, place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator and let the treats cool.
After about 15 minutes, the Scooby snacks should be ready to eat.
This quick and easy treat is a great snack when you’re hanging out with a group of friends or even if you just have a craving for chocolate and pretzels. No matter what, Scooby snacks are sure to be a crowd pleaser.

In the European Union, 50 percent of the population is fluent in more than one language, compared to a mere 25 percent in the United States. All nations in the European Union, in fact, aside from Ireland and Scotland, require students to take foreign language classes. Instead of categorizing language classes as electives, Europeans consider these classes part of a student’s core and place special emphasis on language in the lower grade levels. In around 80 percent of these nations, [...]

Importance of Senior Year Underestimated

Every student knows how high school is supposed to work: freshman, sophomore and junior year slowly build up the workload and, consequently, the stress. But once the last year of high school arrives and rigorous course work has already been completed in the first three years, seniors are as good as done. At least that is what many students think. Senior year is actually the most important time to impress colleges. Granite Bay High School principal Michael McGuire created a [...]

Struggling with offensive stereotypes

Within the confines of a culinary class, it would not generally be considered unusual for one student to warn another not to walk too close to the many ovens around the room. However, when it happened to senior Sam Holzer, the cautionary remark was perceived as hurtful and offensive. Holzer is of the Jewish faith, and the comment had been made by a would-be comedic fellow student who meant to reference the gas chambers and subsequent cremation tactics used by [...]
