    LOL , mom made a heck of a lot of candy to give away to friends and neighbors at Christmas . I saw her making a huge batch and we didn't get any .......................it was hid ! Found a big stash in the top kitchen cabinet when I was around 10 years old , started sneaking a few pieces , she had it in the old metal Folgers coffee cans . I was standing on the counter with a can getting a few pieces out when dad walked in the kitchen . Me standing on the counter was a strange circumstance and he asked me what was going on . I tried to think of a way out of my indiscretion but there was none . Told him I found mom's Christmas candy , he stood there a second and said .................What kind is there ? We periodically snagged a few pieces , I would shake the can up to kind of 'fluff' up the remaining candy to compensate for the 'lost' pieces . Worked pretty good till we ran out of 'fluff' and got caught and mom was mad .

    I googled it the other day and couldn't find it. I is not made with peanut butter and it uses baking chocolate instead of cocoa powder... last batch I made 2 years ago I used a Ghiradelli 70% dark chocolate.

    Okay Artful, I officially hate you(LOL). I had to stop and wipe the drool off the keyboard. Now I am hungry. Those cookies look delicious. Just might have to try that recipe.

    Merry Christmas

    Should I put up the Oreo Truffle video I'm trying this year?

    Oh why not


    I used Raspberry Oreo's

    easy to make - you can just dust the balls with sugar coating
    and avoid the chocolate dip.

    Ok, as the Oreo Raspberry Truffles didn't last long

    So I looked for something else to do with the remaining package
    of Oreo Chocolate filled found a recipe for Rum/Brandy Balls -

    1 pkg of Oreo's but thru the food processor to grind to meal state
    1 pkg of Vanilla Wafers but thru the food processor
    1 1/2 cup of mixed nuts but thru the food processor
    3/4 cup powdered sugar
    1/2 cup of Rum or Brandy
    {*} I used salted nuts so no need add salt.
    mix together into a large dough ball and let rest
    - after a couple of hours see if it's thirsty
    if so give it a splash or two more of Rum or Brandy.

    Let rest again
    - then make them into quail egg size balls
    and roll in powdered sugar, If it was real thirsty you may need
    to roll in powdered sugar more than once.

    If you want to kick it up a notch you can add cinnamon to the outside sugar coating or

    You can use Coconut Rum and but some coconut shreds
    in the outside coating or

    You can insert a surprise inside the Rum ball before coating!

    Suggestions:
    couple of Semi-sweet chocolate morsals
    single large M&M
    Dark Chocolate chocolate drop
    Chocolate/Mint Drop
    Candied Spiced Pecan

    Well, you get the Idea.

    As this is a no cook Rum/Brandy Ball it will have Alcohol
    So make your victims, I mean Guests aware to go easy on them.

    That's cool Artful, I do the same thing, I bake a bunch of awesome chocolate chip cookies, then pick a few off my FB friends list and surprise them! This year I sent out 3 small boxes via 1st class mail on Tuesday the 26th, and they were all delivered today the 28th in MI, TN, and FL. Pretty danged good of our USPS workers, which I put our favorite carrier a little bag in the mailbox along with barrels and cylinders going back out and he was quite happy.. None of them made it past our block I bet!

    Got a .22 .30 .32 .357 .38 .40 .41 .44 .45 .480 or .500 S&W cylinder that needs throats honed? 9mm, 10mm/40S&W, 45 ACP pistol barrel that won't "plunk" your handloads? 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh cylinder that needs the "step" reamed to 6° 30min chamfer?
