Cookie Exchange

Well it's that time of year again, Cookie Exchange!! For those of you who know me know that I DESPISE baking and every year I get talked into doing a cookie exchange. Well here it is another year and I am doing it again!

This time I talked my friend Cathy into helping me out.

For those of you who know Cathy know that she is the World's Best Baker and if you haven't met her you probably have tasted her fantastic baking and if you haven't you don't know what your missing!

Since I don't like to bake this year I thought that I'd make Southern Crunch Cookies/Candies. They are really candy but can be passed off as cookies and are incredibly easy to make and the taste is to die for!

I thought that I'd share the recipe with you and you know there is still time to make a batch for someone you love this holiday season.

Southern Crunch

2 lbs White Almond Bark

1/4 c. Peanut Butter

1 c. Dry Roasted Peanuts

4 c. Rice Krispies

Melt bark and peanut butter together in double boiler. In a separate bowl, combine peanuts and rice krispies. Pour melted mixture over cereal and peanuts and stir carefully to combine. Drop into mini muffin cups. Cool, eat and Enjoy!

2009 Club Comes To An End!

Last night was the last night of club and since this is a month of giving thanks, we made Thank You cards! The girls LOVED them!

I also gave each club member a little "Thank You" just from me for being a part of my club! I sure hope they liked what was in there!! I can't tell you what was all in there because one of the girls didn't get hers yet and I don't want to spoil the surprise!!!

Keep watching my blog for all the details about next years clubs! We will have a new catalog and lots of new ideas, papers and embellishments! I can't wait and remember, being a club member means you get the new idea books before anyone else does!!!!
