I am having a chocolate fit at the moment, with absolutely nothing in the house. Sure could use a piece of that right now, Rob! (That's me, trying to will it through my computer screen. So far it's not working. ).

I thought I heard weird noises coming from my screen. What's neat is that it's so simple to make. I had all the ingredients 'cept for the cocoa.

Well, I have the cocoa...but not all the other ingredients...

I think you all have a sweet tooth! I'm going to make those pumpkin muffins, they sound wonderful.

Rhonda, who would think of using a crock pot for a dessert like that?? Looks good!


I'll bet that butter pecan fudge is heavenly, Lisa!



I thought I'd share my Christmas Wreath cookie recipe. Maybe I've shared it before, but I can't remember. I don't have a picture, sorry....this one does not come out looking like a wreath, unless you are going to painstakingly shape them as such. But no one cares because they're so tasty. And they're green, so still festive.

This is scientific, seriously. This MUST be exact. I've had family members say they've tried this and mine are better. But if they do this exactly according to recipe and recommended ingredients, they should turn out just like mine. Also, the key is to have all your ingredients totally prepared....you have to work fast with this one! And make sure you have wax paper out already---your fingers will get sticky!

*Melt one stick REAL (unsalted or salted, doesn't matter) BUTTER. When it comes to baking, use real butter, not margarine. Your guests will thank you. You will need a larger sauce pan for this recipe....you need a lot of space to stir.

*Melt exactly 32 large marshmallows (any brand will do, but don't buy the UNbranded, if you know what I mean. Store brand is fine). Stir these constantly over medium heat---do not let burn.

*Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2-3/4 tsp green food coloring, depending on how green you want these. I like the darker green.

*Quickly add exactly 4 1/2 cups frosted flakes and stir like a madwoman (or man. ). This is more of a folding technique, but the marshmallow mixture will set up quickly so you have to really be ready with those flakes and make sure they all get coated well. Also, you can use store brand with these too...I can't tell any difference between that and Kelloggs in this recipe.

*Drop spoonfuls of mixture onto wax paper. Mine are about an inch and a half in diameter, I think. You can add a few cinnamon red hots to each one if you'd like, to look like berries on a wreath. Very pretty!

These are my boys' favorite cookies and it wouldn't be Christmas in our house without them! They are also what all my family expect me to bring for gatherings. And they're quite simple!

It's been a long time since I've had one of those, Amy. I don't think I have ever had them made with frosted flakes though, just plain corn flakes. I'm sure the extra sugar makes them extra good.

You are KILLING me, people!

That's what I did when I first saw the photo! I think I might give them a try.

Just ask Pam, she posted it on her facebook page....

I'd rather bake them and try them myself. Asking about them doesn't taste as good. . . But very cool that Pam made them, too!!

I have officially. Swooned.
