Here's the place to share and explore your latest and greatest favorite recipe.
WRONG!
Maybe we did something wrong but it smelled just like you say and it was so greasy no one would eat it. Can't even think about a goose now.
I did cook a duck once, and it was fine as I recall.
Reality check version
Due to running out of time & unable to freeze these, I simply stirred the three ingredients together, formed into balls, and voila! ready to go, skipping the freezing and dipping steps!
Peanut Butter & Pretzel Truffles
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup crunchy natural peanut butter
1/4 cup finely chopped salted pretzels
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips, melted
PREPARATION
Place pretzels in ziploc baggie. Crush with glass bottle or rolling pin.
(Or whir pretzels in food processor.)
Melt the chocolate chips over a double boiler.
Stir together the PB, pretzel crumbs, and melted choc-o-chips.
Form into balls and serve.
... used way more pretzels than called for, I kept stirring more and more in till I was happy w/ consistency.
S/B re-named PB+Pretzel Balls with the reality check version.
Do you know why you remove the wishbone?
Thank you for this thread each week! I love looking at it.
Now I will stop lurking and share a recipe that gets rave reviews when I serve it. A dear friend of mine, who was murdered ( by his own father!) gave it to me. He called it:
“PINK STUFF”
1 can cherry pie filling
1 @24 oz can WELL DRAINED crushed pineapple
1 small bag chopped pecans ( or walnuts or slivered raw almonds)
1 can sweeteneed condensed milk
1 tub 8 or 12 oz softened cool whip
Mix the first 4 items. Fold in cool whip completely . Cover and refrigerate for a while. before serving, fluff it up a bit. enjoy :)
Merrry Christmas to all you FoodiesII
On one of the weekly cooking threads, I think that’s where it was, someone posted an appetizer recipe for hot dogs wrapped in bacon and covered with brown sugar then cooked in an electric skillet til crisp and sticky. I can’t remember what it was called but would like to have that recipe for the Super Bowl.
You can freeze that in a 13x9 pan then cut into squares to serve for summer dessert. Yummy!
I used real whipped cream in place of the cool whip.
No, I don’t. My auntie does it and a websites I have looked at say to do it also.
Nut Haters’ “PINK STUFF”
1 can cherry pie filling
1 @24 oz can WELL DRAINED crushed pineapple
1 can sweeteneed condensed milk
1 tub 8 or 12 oz softened cool whip
Mix the first three items. Fold in cool whip completely.
Cover and refrigerate for a while.
Before serving, fluff it up a bit.
Mom used to make something dang near ‘zackly like that when we were chirrens....another thing to miss these days at Christmas time.
YES! I remember that too! I had the recipe and another one similar then my HD crashed. Might take me awhile but let me check around. I might still have it on on old drive.
Skillet or casserole dish...I can't remember but I know it was the same thing and was pretty good for me...the family wan't crazy about it. They aren't crazy about anything I make, LOL!
I think this is similar to what I made. Used Little Smokies last year because Wife and Kids like them. May have put some cheese on them as well.
I think I also did them with regular hot dogs.
Recipe
Ingredients
1 pound sliced bacon, cut into thirds
1 (14 ounce) package beef cocktail wieners
3/4 cup brown sugar, or to taste
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Refrigerate 2/3 of the bacon until needed. It is easier to wrap the wieners with cold bacon. Wrap each cocktail wiener with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle brown sugar generously over all.
Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the sugar is bubbly. To serve, place the wieners in a slow cooker and keep on the low setting.
This ISN'T the exact recipe I was thinking of but pretty close.
Thank you. Have a Merry Christmas.
We’re going to have this for breakfast tomorrow morning! Merry Christmas!
This sounds like it

These are very good.
Danish Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup chopped pecans
1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar, or as needed
Directions
1. Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, mix the butter, 1 cup confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in the flour mixture; gently stir in the oatmeal and pecans and lightly mix until combined.
3. With a spoon, drop about 1 scant tablespoon of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely before sprinkling cookies with confectioners’ sugar.
Thank you. Merry Christmas!
