Guest guest Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 Hi all. This is an easy easy cookie to make. Simple as pie...well actually simpler than pie. It was a tradition for my Grandma and I to make them every X-mas. I would make the peanut-butter cracker sandwiches and she would dunk them in the almond bark to coat them (so I wouldn't burn myself). We call them Hi-Ho's, because that is the name of the crackers that she buys (Ritz knock-offs)....shhhh, I'm using Ritz this season. Anyway, I am sending a batch to Grandma this season. They are done and sitting in the refrigerator. For some reason though, one cookie disappears everyday that they sit in there. I prefer them cold, as I do chips, nuts, crackers and snacks. Ok here is the complicated recipe. 1 box Ritz crackers 1 jar of Creamy peanut-butter Almond Bark Spread peanut-butter in between 2 Ritz crackers to create several, individual sandwiches. Melt almond bark in a double boiler. Coat the sandwiches with the almond bark. Place on wax paper to dry and harden. I just made a batch that yielded around 30 cookies. That was about 2 rolls of crackers, half a medium sized jar of pb and about 12oz. of the bark. I place the cookies in the refrigerator to harden. It was also tradition for me to make a couple of double stackers or " big macs " as it were. Good stuff. Cheers, Shawn " If, at first, you do succeed, try to hide your astonishment.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 Yum! Those sound very good, Shawn. That might be a fun project for my kids this year. As for your disappearing cookie problem, do you think it might be elves? ~ P_T ~ ~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~> , " _- MatrixenO -_ " < matrixeno@h...> wrote: > > Hi all. > This is an easy easy cookie to make.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 ~ P_T ~ , here is something else your children can do with those cookies if you choose to make them. Get some sprinkles, peanut or chocolate chips, nuts or any other topping. And as the chocolate cools they can make their own individual cookie creations by dropping the toppings on top. Make sure the chocolate is cool enough not to burn your kids hands (Like you don't know that) and cool enough not to melt the toppings. Oh and yes, lol, it is DEFINITELY the elves that are swiping those cookies ~nose growing long~. Cheers, Shawn " If, at first, you do succeed, try to hide your astonishment.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 Good ideas. I was thinking about getting some xmas-like sprinkles and toppings and letting them go to town decorating them. The only danger with my kids is when they lick their fingers and start bouncing off the walls in a sugar-buzz fit! *lol* Then its time to turn up the stereo and play punk rock holiday music.... About those elves, I seem to have an infestation myself. Yesterday I bought two bags of Hershey kiss chocolates and I'll be darned if they aren't disappearing on me! ~ P_T ~ ~~~*~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> , " _- MatrixenO -_ " < matrixeno@h...> wrote: > Oh and yes, lol, it is DEFINITELY the elves that are swiping those cookies > ~nose growing long~. > > Cheers, > Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter where I hide the " sweets " , those dern elves find them. I guess we will just have to live with this problem....oh and live with it guilt-free that is.
