1 cup semisweet chocolate chips *

1/4 cup butter or margarine

1 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1. Measure cereal into a large bowl and set aside
2. In a 1 quart microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter uncovered on high for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave about 30 seconds longer or until the mixture can be stirred smooth. Stir in the vanilla. Pour the mixture over the cereal and stir until evenly coated. Pour into a 2 gallon resealable food storage bag.

Cookies

This weekend I have to bake cookies for our Christmas party at work. I’m planning on making my famous chocolate chip cookies.. Well they aren’t really my famous cookies… I use the recipe on the bag of Nestle’s Chocolate Morsels. I just love the taste of them.

I hope all goes well this time. The last time I tried to make cookies my indoor lighting in the kitchen went out and it was too dark to make them. I have 2 really long fluorescent tubes above my cabinets and I don’t know when the last time they were changed. They both went out within a couple minutes of each other. Luckily I hadn’t gotten any further than getting everything out to make them. I hadn’t actually started them.
