I made a recipe that I saw on the Food Network by Paula Deen I love her recipes. There peanut butter balls. There real easy and tasty! You just take your favorite peanut butter I used smooth and roll them in balls and then dip them in crushed corn flakes, confectioners sugar, rice krispies, crushed nuts (like pecans). Really whatever you like. I made a whole tray and my family couldn't keep from trying them all out and saying how good they are. You freeze them after your done dipping them into whatever you choose. Just make sure there not rock hard where no one can bite into them they just basically get harden a little so there not all gooey. You can probaly look up her recipe at www.foodnetwork.com and go to Paula Deen and type in Peanut Butter Balls. Hope that helps! Other than that I would be heading to the bakery at my local grocery store lol!
Here is a real easy one you can make before going to bed.
Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk 4 egg whites until foamy, gradually add 1 1/3 cup super fine sugar. Beat until stiff peak. Add 2 tsp vanilla and 2 pinchs of salt. fold in 2 cups of chocolate chips and 1 cup of chopped nuts(you can omit this), Drop by tea spoon on cookie sheets lined with alminum foil. You should get about 50 cookies. Put the cookie sheets in the oven and turn off heat. Do not open oven until morning. If the cookies are still soft in the morning, turn on the oven to 250 and continue to dry up the cookies. (usually you don't have to do this, but it has happened to me a couple of times) Cookies are done when they peel off the foil easily. As they cool they will get nice and crispy. You can color the egg white with food color if you like.
I think these are quite easy. But don't eat and drive!
Rum Balls
1 1/2 cups toasted pecans, finely chopped (hazelnuts,
walnuts, or almonds can be used, but pecans are the best)
1 1/4 cups finely crushed shortbread or vanilla wafer
cookies (I used Keebler)
1/2 cup confectioners sugar (powdered)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder (regular unsweetened cocoa
powder, the kind that comes in the can)
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 cup rum (OR 1 T rum flavoring)
Process the vanilla wafer cookies or shortbread cookies in
the food processor until finely ground. Add the crumbs to
the finely chopped pecans. To this mixture add the
confectioners sugar and cocoa powder and stir until
combined. Add the corn syrup and rum and mix well. Chill if
necessary and then shape into 1 inch balls. Place the sifted
confectioners sugar into a small bowl and roll the rum balls
in the sugar.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These
are best if made several days in advance of serving to allow
the flavors to mingle.
Serve at room temperature.
Makes about 4 dozen (48 rum balls).
OMG! Thank you!
I've been looking for this recipe!
I do peppermint bark, one square of almond bark to two candy canes, crush the candy canes, melt the bark and mix together, spread on wax paper and let harden, break up into pieces.
My brother's fudge.
4 cups of sugar
1 can evap milk
together in a pan heat to boiling turn the heat down to simmering and simmer for 20 minutes or so, stirring frequently (while it cooks it will double in size and then slowly go back down and changes color slightly, so use a bigger pan than you think you need)
remove from heat and add
2 cups chocolate chips (same as 12 oz bag)
1 stick butter or margarine
1 tsp vanilla or mint or any other extract you are partial to
pour into greased 9x13 and let cool and harden.
I'm also going to try the oreo balls and the saltine cracker cookie recipe if I can find one that sounds right.

They both sounds good. I'm going to make the fudge now. My DH does not like fudge with marshmallows or marshmallow cream in it and this one seems much easier than regular fudge that I have to cook forever. Thank you for sharing!
