The original post in this thread reminded me of a couple-- I've never personally made them, but they sound delish!!

 

Turtles (I don't have the exact recipe, but I'm sure it can be found online!)

Get a package of Rolo candies (ya know, the little round chocolates with a gooey center, and they usually come in rolls). Lay out as many miniature pretzels as you have Rolos on a cookie sheet, and lay a Rolo in the middle of each pretzel. Put these in a hot oven, just long enough to get the Rolos really soft. Take them out of the oven, and immediately press a pecan half into each Rolo... Tada-- turtles! :)

 

Snowmen

Melt white almond bark. Dip whole Nutter Butter cookies into almond bark and lay them on waxed paper to cool. Decorate with red and black gel icing to make eyes, nose, mouth, scarf, etc. for your snowman! (Maybe you could even stick a potato stick in each side to make arms?) :)

One of the easiest recipes that my family LOVES is chocolate mint covered Oreo's. You take Andes Mint baking chips and melt them in the microwave. It takes me about 1:45 to melt the chocolate. Then dip Oreo into chocolate and make sure you have it covered completely. Place onto a wax paper covered cookie sheet. You may place sprinkles onto the cookie. Just make sure you do this step quickly. These are to die for!

Just made this and it is so so freaking yummy. I'm gonna have to run out and get stuff to make another one for tomorrow since we are already eating on this one. Was gonna make butterfinger cake but went with this as it seemed easier and so glad I did. Thank you for the recipe.
