Easy Holiday Treats

[Sherry]

O.K. I'm not much of a cook, but I saw the recipe for these easy treats the other day in our local newspaper and thought I would share them. I must stress that it isn't necessarily heart-healthy, but it is easy and yummy.

Place small pretzels on a baking sheet. Place one Rolo candy on each and bake at 350 for 10 minutes or so (until they're melted). Remove from oven and place a pecan on top of each one. (You could probably microwave them as well.)

Another variation of this involves placing those white-chocolate Hershey Kisses on top of the pretzels, baking them for a short time, and then placing a green or red M & M on top.

Gee, even I can handle this one... Happy Holidays, All :) :) :)

Thanks for sharing Sherry! Sounds about my speed at the moment!

Another short cut.

Toll House refridgerated chocolate chip cookies. Break off and place on baking sheet as directed. Make a thumb print in each one and place a chocolate kiss in each. Bake and enjoy. Kids love this one too!

Happy Holidays!

Someone brought some of these to our church Sunday night, and they were very delicious!

Here's a good one and very easy.

1 reg. size bag of semi-sweet choc. chips - I think it is 12 oz. or 16 oz. Melt them in a double boiler with a regular sized can of sweetened condensed milk. In the meantime crush 22 squares of either regular graham crackers or I use choc. graham crackers. Graham crackers come in large rectangles, so one "cracker" is 2 squares, so you need 11 of the rectangular crackers.

Pour cracker crumbs into melted stuff, stir well, drop by teaspoons onto waxed paper, cool and store in airtight container.

We call them brownie balls. yum!
