My sister-in-law Jen is the Pie Queen, and made a fabulous mixed fruit pie. Delish. Of the ones I brought, the Chocolate Chip Cookie Delight got the love - definitely a keeper. (Recipe here.)
The Peanut Butter Cup Rice Krispies Treats tasted good as expected - how can you go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter?? They were a tad soft, possibly just because they had been out a while. It will be nice to have a good variation in the cookbook. (Recipe here.)
And, as predicted, the Creamy Snowballs were SWEET. I made them pretty small so they weren't too overwhelming. They formed into balls better than I expected.
Creamy Snowballs
Combine and beat until smooth:
1/2 pkg cream cheese
2 cups icing sugar
2 tbsp milk
2/3 cup melted chocolate chips
1/2 tsp vanilla
Fold in 3 cups colored mini marshmallows, mix well, then chill for 30 minutes. (I left it in the fridge until the next day and it worked fine.) Shape into 1 1/2 inch balls (pressing into shape with my fingertips worked better than rolling in my palms). Roll in coconut.
These freeze well. Makes about 3 1/2 dozen. From Company's Coming Cookies.
