What EASY goodies are you making this holiday?

Honestly, I am really surprised that people are having problems. My 11 year old did most of the work, and I am really not that into baking (which is why I titled this thread EASY goodies).

I can see that the chocolate melting can be a pain, one of the best kitchen gadgets I have ever gotten was definitely the little chocolate melting pot thing

The one I have is similar to this one:

But mine isn't a Wilton
 
They were easy - I had no problems at all! Well other than running out of chocolate, but I have to admit I didn't even look at the recipe to see how much I should make.
 
i melted my chocolate chips in the microwave, with Imperial margarine and some milk.... no problems at all!

Did somebody make these and send them into work with their DH yesterday? If so, please PM me! My DH came home and was describing these exact things to me that someone brought into his work yesterday! What a coincidence! I wondered if it was a fellow CWer!
 
Probably not. I've seen these in several little cook books. I've never made 'em though, but should....they're cute.
 
I had a busy day in the kitchen today with the Family!

100 pretzel turtles
114 Oreo Balls
36 chocolate chip cookies
36 Oatmeal cookies
36 chocolate covered pretzels

I still have apple pies yet to make and a few loaves of banana bread!

What FUN!!! :)
 
Good job! My, my mom and my sister had our baking day today. We made a lot of cookies although my sister was super slow and sluggish (read hung-over lol). Then she was texting non-stop until I threatened to throw her phone into the snow lol. She's still in that schmoopy stage with her boyfriend. :jack:
