Kellie meet Tim.

I think Kellie and I have a mutually satisfying interests.
So what'll it be Kels? Want to get together and make some cookies?

I think Kellie's husband might object. Nice try though Tim.

thanks
You never know, with the area code rule. I owed it to myself to try.

Hi Tim, nice to meet you. As lovely as making cookies sounds, my heart belongs to somebody else.

Drat. Nice to meet you Kels.

Preheat oven to 350 or so (going from memory)

Fill a cookie sheet with round pretzels - not sticks, not shapes, just plain circles.

Unwrap a bunch of Hershey's kisses, and place 1 kiss in each round pretzel
(Some sit on top a bit, which is fine).

Open a bag of plain holiday m&m's - they are colored red and green (peanut would probably work too).

Place the cookie sheet in the oven for 2 minutes - just softens the kisses

Remove from the oven, and place 1 m&m atop each kiss - they will be melty, just push down to about the height of the pretzel.

When cool, pop them off the cookie sheet, and voila, tasty little morsels of holiday fun!

My family loves these things, I can't make them fast enough.

Here are a couple I make every year....

It does impress the female guests at the Mingspad tho, right?

Apparently, "date-filled" will not be on Mings' menu.


As for me, chocolate chip and snicker doodles!

BTW Sy, each new batch of pictures you put in your sig line looks yummier than the last. And I'm drooling on my keyboard again.

I think mings would settle for just filling, to heck with the cookies... tho, without the filling, the cookies could be comfort food.. not that I would advocate eating to smother his pain..

I need to find my recipe for Heath Bar Cheesecake Cookies, yummy.

Dude, as long as you yell "bam" and act a little like you know what you're doing, then they are real into it.

Are we still talking about baking cookies?
You couild do like the commercial for the rice krispie treats and take a puff and put powdered sugar all over your face and clothes, exit kitchen with treats while giving a big tired sigh. Say, that's ok they're not that much trouble.

You seem to make the mistake of teaching her a lot of things she uses against you later.

powdered sugar in the big city has a bad connotation...
