Ritz Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookies

These are always a hit because they are so good. Who can say no to peanut butter and chocolate?!

Ingredients:

1 (24 oz) Chocolate Almond Bark
2 sleeves of Ritz crackers
peanut butter
powdered sugar (optional)

Melt the almond bark in a double boiler over low heat, stirring occasionally.

In the mean time put peanut butter on a Ritz cracker then put another Ritz on top, sandwich style.
Dip the sandwiched peanut butter Ritz in the almond bark. Place on wax paper covered cookie sheet. Allow the chocolate covered crackers to set. I ususally let them set for abour 30 minutes then I put them in an air tight container.

Note: Use the powdered sugar to stir into the peanut butter if it is too thin or runny to stay on the crackers. Alot of the natural peanut butters are a very thin consistancy.

Sister's Birthday Gift

I just had to do Mark's idea - and he helped me - to make a gift for Nancy for her birthday. I had seen this little poem about growing up with a sister and thought it was perfect. So we went to several thrift stores looking for the perfect sized canvas picture and after only two stops - found it! This is the canvas with the letters I stuck on it and I began there in the bottom corner to paint it a dark brown. The canvas is a golden with thin trees and some words in cursive in a light brown. As you see, I was using a paint brush, but I changed to a small roller. It worked much much better. Completely painted the top and the sides of the canvas a brown color. Then I let it dry - probably about 30 minutes. Then pealed off the letters! Here is the finished product: And it's true. I did tell on her - it was for her own good. :)

Pretzels

This was a fun little snack I wanted to try. But I will have to warn you - watch it the last 15 minutes really closely. I had them in the oven, stirring every 10 minutes. The recipe said to cook it 30 minutes, but I should have taken them out at 20. The last 10 minutes turned them too dark. It is probably my oven, so if you try this - keep your eyes on them. Here is the recipe: 16 oz. pretzels - put in a roasting pan Mix: 1/2 cup oil, 1/2 cup sugar, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon Pour mixture over pretzels. Place in 300 degree oven. Bake for 30 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes. Take out of oven and spread out on paper towels to cool. Store in airtight container. Another little tip - I would double the cinnamon next time I make it. But I like cinnamon!
