Gooey Butterscotch Nut Bar Recipe

We have a black squirrel problem. Those little black ninja’s are so pesky!

He refused. He said he wasn’t going to kill them because he hadn’t seen them commit the crimes I was accusing them of! I should have known. He is such a softy.

So I said I would deal with them myself. I made big plans to fill a bucket with water, top it off with bird seed, then set out a bridge to their final destination.

Turns out I am all talk and no action. I couldn’t bring myself to do it! Those naughty little pests work so hard all day long burying their treasure in my yard, stealing my leaves for their house, and chasing birds out of my trees… I just couldn’t let them die such a horrible death after spending their lives working so hard!
