Rollo Mini Wrap Around Cookies

                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                           


Heb.12:

26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens." 
27 This phrase, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of things that are shaken--that is, things that have been made--in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. 
28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, 
29 for our God is a consuming fire.





Nestlé sugar cookie dough(flat pack not roll)
Rollo mini candies (already unwrapped)

Do not let the simplicity of this recipe fool you, they have a gourmet taste without the trouble!!

Easy Crispy Peanut Butter Balls




2 Tim.2:1-5


1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.
2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good,
4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.




2-1/2 cups rice crispy cereal
3 cups powdered sugar
1-1/2 cups smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
Melting Chocolate(I use Ghirardelli from Sam's)


Directions:
In a large bowl, mix rice krispies and powdered sugar together, set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt peanut butter and butter on medium heat.
As soon as it becomes a uniform liquid, remove from heat and pour over rice krispy mixture, stirring until well combined.
Form into 1-1/2 inch balls, place on a cookie sheet and put in refrigerator to cool.
Meanwhile, place melting chocolate in the microwave and heat until melted.
Dip balls and place on parchment to harden.Yum!
