This recipe is a family favorites. Sadly, I stopped making these a few years ago because of my son’s allergy to peanuts.
But this year Chris suggested making them using Peabutter (the alternative we use to peanut butter.) Yes! Why hadn’t I thought of that sooner? They turned out great! I can’t even taste the difference. I guess a bunch of sugar can mask anything!

We took a break from being in the kitchen today.
And it was great.

What’s my excuse?
Well, to be honest- lack of children….. as in we didn’t have any.

My son and oldest daughter slept over at my sister’s last night and spent the day being spoiled by her and her boyfriend. They are just on their way home now from the “Hitmen Teddy Bear Toss” as I type this.
And our baby girl slept over at Chris’ parents place last night and spent the day with them. I just whipped over there after nap to bring her to a fun birthday party for a cute little redhead.
Then after the party it was back to Grandma and Papa’s for a big family dinner. By the time we were home our little one was fast asleep.

So needless to say I decided to wait until my little elves returned before I made another mess in there. Don’t worry though, we plan on catching up tomorrow 🙂

We have been busy today, making a few treats for our teacher’s gifts (another post with more details on that to come) as well as baking for our project.

Yup, we have been all about the dipping. Yesterday pretzels, today Candy Canes and Oreos!
Don’t they just look so yummy?

Today we made a very simple recipe. I first made these the year after we were married. I remember making them in our little condo and how quickly they disappeared… hmmm… hopefully they’ll last until Christmas this time!
