My friend Dione gave me this recipe.... and it rocked my world!!! These are so good & sooo addictive! I used 4 cups of powdered sugar and used 2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips to dip. Great recipe! -
I use to make these years ago but had lost my old recipe. I fixed this recipe for family and friends over the holidays. They were a bigger hit than my old recipe. -

I love how cooking brings people together, whether it's sharing recipes or sharing a special meal. My sister and I love to talk recipes, and she is great at researching any recipe questions and hunting down recipes. My whole family enjoys cooking, so holidays are particularly fun when we're all cooking together. I teach social studies, and I incorporate historical recipes and foods into my lessons about culture. Cooking connects the past and present. I've realized how relaxing cooking is to me, so despite being very busy with teaching, I make time to cook.
