Another favorite of mine. I make these every year at Christmas time. I always double the recipe.
Peanut Butter BonBons
Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter(18 oz jar=2 cups)
1 stick margarine (melted)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
1 12oz bag Nestles semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 stick paraffin
Stir together the peanut butter, margarine, powdered sugar and graham
crackers. Mix well.
Place in the freezer for 1 hour. Remove and roll into 1 1/2
inch balls. Freeze again until hard.
Melt the choc chips and paraffin in a double boiler. Dip the
frozen balls in the melted choc chips with a toothpick. Enjoy!

Blue.....Paraffin is a household paraffin wax. It's used mostly for canning. But, it's also used in candies. In this case, it helps the chocolate harden once dipped. It does not have a taste and is safe to eat. It comes in big blocks usually 4 to a box. eyes |

No bake cookies
2 cups white sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1/2 cup milk
1 pinch salt
3 cups quick cooking oats
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1.In a saucepan bring sugar, cocoa, margarine, milk, and salt to a rapid boil for 1 minute. Make sure you have a good boil before timing. Also, it helps if you mix the cocoa with the sugar first. Cocoa is hard to dissolve on its own in liquid.
2.Add quick cooking oats, peanut butter, and vanilla; mix well.
3.Working quickly, drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper, and let cool.

Eyesofgreen are you sure we don't live in the same house? I have made both the peanut butter bon bons and the 7 layer salad and they are awesome.
Here is a 7 layer dip that i love and goes really well when you are having a party for an appetizer:
You will need:
A large platter and in this order spread (forgive me i don't know the proportions cuz i never measure this recipe and it depends on the size of your platter).
1st layer: one can of refried pintos beans. This can be optional cuz a lot of peeps don't like them.
2nd layer: guacamole but please make it fresh it is so easy.
3rd layer: sour cream
4th layer: grated cheddar cheese
5th layer: grated jack cheese
6th layer: grated lettuce
7th layer: diced tomatoes and black olives.
Please note when layering to leave an inch on the outside rim of each layer. This will show each layer without it being hidden.
Tortilla chips or Frito Scoops to dip.
Sooooo yummy.
Lips

Not a recipe but a tip for when you are making meatloaf. Place slices of bread on the bottom of your loaf pan and then put the meatloaf on top and bake as usual. The bread absorbs all the fat from the cooking meat, but the meatloaf retains it's flavor. I do this all the time and love it. You can use a cheaper blend of hamburger without worrying about it swimming in grease.
