Goodies & Treats

Time to make the Goodies...

I always wait til the week before

Christmas to start my Christmas goodies.

Since Wednesday Ash and I have been running wide

open in my lil pink kitchen.

Below are a few samples of the things I'm

doing this year.

Haystacks

Ingredients:
1 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup peanut butter

*peanut butter optional*
1/2 cup peanuts
2 cups chow mein noodles
Preparation:

Microwave the butterscotch chips and

peanut butter on 50 % power for 3 to 5 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients and blend

to coat noodles thoroughly.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper.
*I made 2 batches of these .. one with

peanut butter added and one without.

The batch with peanut butter came

out creamier and looked prettier.*

No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients:

2 cups sugar

1 stick butter

1/2 cup Pet milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/3 cup cocoa

1/2 cup peanut butter

2 1/2 cups oats

1/2 tsp. salt

Preparation:
In a medium saucepan,

combine all ingredients except

peanut butter and oats

and cook over medium heat.

Let boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and oats.
Spoon out quickly onto wax paper

or aluminum foil. Cookies will harden as they set.
