I make this every year- I have fun changing the recipe around.

1 container of chocolate frosting
1 12 ox bag of semi sweet chocolate chips
3 snickers bars, chopped

Melt choc chips (stovetop or microwave)- remove from heat. Stir in frosting.

At this point you can either: mix in chopped candy bar or put the mixture into a pan and sprinkle with candy bars. I prefer to mix it in-

Add to a 9" square pan- refrigerate until cooled. Remove from pan and cut into squares. Tips: Line the pan with alum foil for easy removal. Add any kind of candy bar you like...change the chips- last time I used peanut butter chips...yum!

I like this recipe because you do not need to refrigerate (only to cool) it like many fudge recipes. Enjoy!!

I made this tonight for our church Christmas party. Left out the snickers because I didn't have any. I am not a big fudge fan but everyone else loved it. They couldn't believe how easy the recipe was.

I made fudge tonight using the recipe with chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. I used a half bag choc chips and half bag of peanut butter chips. I can't believe how easy it was. It turned out great, very rich.
I can't remember who posted the recipe but, thank you!!

Did you mix them together? I've made something like this that has a peanut butter layer and a chocolate layer. I never thought of mixing them together. I'll have to try it.

1 Tbs. Lawry's seasoning salt
6-8 marachino cherries (chopped)

Blend together cheese, pineapple, nuts (1/2 cup), green peppers, and seasoning. Roll into a ball and chill 2 hours. Roll in remaining nuts before serving.

Am I missing something or what do I do with the cherries? Soaking them in alcohol is always a plan!!

Where do the cherries come in?
Are they mixed in with the other ingredients or rolled together with the last pecans??

[MayMom]

Sorry - they are mixed in with all the other ingredients...an unexpected sweet bite!

Another pretty easy one is to take your faviorate snickerdoodle recipe and instead of rolling the cookies in cinnamon and sugar, roll them in red sprinkles and sugar and green sprinkles and sugar. I have named them Hollidoodles. (patent is pending )

I have'nt seen this one yet and it's really easy......


7 Layer Cookie (actually 6 layer in my house b/c we don't like nuts)

layer the following in a baking dish (9x14):

-one stick of melted butter (I usually just put the butter in the baking dish in the oven til melted)

-graham cracker crumbs to cover bottom of dish (enough to absorb the melted butter)

-one bag of chocolate chips

-one bag of butterscotch chips

-nuts (optional)

-one small bag of coconut

-one can of condensed milk (drizzle over coconut, try to cover all)

Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes or until coconut is toasty brown.
Let cool completely before cutting, you can refrigerate to speed up the process.

These are my favorite!

Here is a favorite

Toffee
1 cup pecans, chopped
3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup butter
1/2 package of chocolate chips

Butter a square pan (9x9) Spread pecans in bottom of pan. Heat butter and sugar to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, 7 minutes. Immediately spread mixture evenly over nuts in pan.

Sprinkle chocolate chips over hot mixture. Place baking sheet over the pan so contained heat will melt chocolate. Spread melted chocolate over candy. While hot cut into pieces. Chill until firm.

To make it even easier, I bake the PB Cup with the cookie. They taste exactly the same...Also, another hint. If you don't have a cookie press to make the indentation, the cap from a water bottle works great, just the right size. And to avoid the cookie dough sticking to whatever your pressing with dip it in flour after every couple of uses.
Thank you to everyone for all these great ideas. My Girl Scout troop is going to have a field day next week making treats for their families.

I just made three dozen of these and over half stuck to the pan and I got only the top part of the cookie out! What did I do worng?

Yes, I just threw all the chips in together.
