Pretzel Hugs

So over Christmas break I was introduced to Pretzel Hugs…They are really good and super easy to make. They make great party snacks and are fairly inexpensive. ¬†I made them for a Girl’s Night and even someone who didn’t like pretzels liked them!

Here is what you need: ¬†1 bag of pretezels (I prefer Rold Gold), 2 bags of Hersey’s Hugs (you can use different flavors), 1 bag of regular milk chocolate m&m’s

Here is what you do: you line a few baking sheets with foil and lay the pretzels out so they are all flat…you then place an unwrapped Hershey’s Hug on each one…put them in the oven at 200 for about 2 min (keep an eye on them you don’t want the Hugs to melt too much, just until the tip is bending over)…take them out of the oven and immediately push an m&m in each one…let them cool (if you can slide the foil off the baking pan it works best to let them cool off the pan)…when cooled serve and enjoy…store uneaten pretzel hugs (if any) in a plastic container.

James made a wonderful dinner tonight‚Ä¶ he cooked rice, sausage, and green beans‚Ä¶mixed them together and then stuffed red bell peppers. He cooked them in the oven. They came out delicious. We are enjoying healthier meals and this one was tops. James is a wonderful cook and I am blessed to have a husband who enjoys mixing and creating yummy foods for us to eat.

Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake

So after church tonight we had a Fall Fellowship. ¬†Everyone brings soup, bread and pie. ¬†James made the soup and it was delicious, but he will have to post that recipe. ¬†He picked out the pie recipe (Taste of Home 2009 Quick Cooking Annual Recipes) but I was the one who made it this afternoon. ¬†It was delicious also and I am sure you have guessed what it was… Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake. ¬†It was a simple recipe and only took about 45 minutes to mix and bake.

The Recipe: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 30 min + cooling

1 jar (12 ounces) maraschino cherries

2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sugar

2 eggs

1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

1 chocolate cookie crust (9 inches)

6 chocolate covered cherries (although I didn’t use these)

Drain the maraschino cherries, reserving 2 tsp cherry juice. Cut the maraschino cherries into quarters; set aside. In a small mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and reserved cherry juice. Add the eggs; beat just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and cherries.

Pour into the crust (crust will be full). Bake at 350¬∫ for 30-35 min or until the center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack. Serve with chocolate covered cherries. 6 servings

Hope you enjoy and don’t make your pieces to big because it is very rich!
