my other treat I'll make is Oreo Lollys.

Get some double stuff Oreos
Some lolly pop sticks
Chocolate for melting
and some green and red sprinkles or colored sugar or some sort of decoration

Melt the chocolate over a double boiler (metal bowl over a pan of simmering water - I've tried melting chocolate in the microwave and it always scorches on me)
Put the oreo on a stick very gently
Dip the oreo into the chocolate
lay on a sheet of wax paper and decorate hwoever you want to

Let set for about an hour.

I wrap each individually with a piece of clear cellophane (the kind that gift baskets get wrapped in -and tied with a ribbon.

Any extra chocolate, take a plastic spoon and dip the bowl end into the chocolate, let set - I usually do 2 - 3 coats - on the last coating - decorate with colored sugar if you want to... Wrap spoon in cellophane. Coffee lovers can use these to stire their coffee - the chocolate melts into the coffee and they're awesomely good.

Chocolate covered pretzels are another big hit --something about the sweet and the salt. Take the pretzel rods, dip half the pretzel rod into the chocolate...

I posted the recipe somewhere in anther thread - -Homemade Bailey's Irish Cream is always a big hit.. never quite lasts long enough though... (if yuo have the time, homemade Kahula is even better)
