Four Easy Go-To Holiday Treats That Are Sure To Be Crowd Pleasers!

Seasons Greetings!

It's Mary, from 

Sweet Little Bluebird!

Today I am sharing FOUR recipes that are favorites 

of my family and friends! They are ridiculously 

easy to make with just a few ingredients...

and oh so good! 

First recipe, 

ROLO TURTLES
  

My friend made these for a holiday cookie swap a few years back, 

it was my first time ever having them.  They are so darn good!  

                                                                                                                               

ROLO TURTLE RECIPE:

Printable Recipe 

Ingredients

Bag of Pretzels Squares or Rounds (Reg or Butter Flavor)

Bag of Rolos- approx 56 rolos  in  12 oz. bag

Bag of Pecan Halves

Directions

Preheat oven to 250*F

Line the pretzels on cookie sheet, place a Rolo on top of each pretzel.  Bake 4-5 mins, just long enough for the Rolo to get soft, DO NOT OVER BAKE.  Pull from oven, take a pecan half and lightly press down on top of rolo.  Cool.  Eat.  Yum.

*If you have a nut allergy in the house, instead of using a pecan, just place another pretzel on top.  They also can be made in the microwave!

Next Recipe,

BUCKEYES!

If you love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, you will love this simple recipe!

This recipe has been around for decades...since I was a kid.  

Only 4 ingredients!

BUCKEYE RECIPE:

Ingredients

Printable Recipe 

1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter

2 Cups Powdered Sugar

1/2 Cup Butter (salted or unsalted) Softened

2 Cups of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Directions

In a large bowl,  mix peanut butter, butter and powdered sugar. Cream together 

until blended well.  Next, roll peanut butter mixture into 1 inch balls and place 

on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper.  Place balls in freezer for 30 to 40 

minutes until firm.  When the balls are firm, melt chocolate chips in a microwave 

safe bowl, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, checking often and stirring.  Insert a toothpick in center of a ball and dip it 3/4 in the melted chocolate.  Place back on wax paper to set.  They set faster in the fridge or freezer.  Recipe makes approximately 25-30 buckeyes!  I store my buckeyes in the fridge.  Enjoy!

And finally,

EASY PEANUT BUTTER CUP COOKIES

The easiest Peanut Butter Cookies you will ever bake!

EASY PEANUT BUTTER CUP COOKIES RECIPE:

Printable Recipe 

Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup sugar

1 egg

Optional 
Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  
Cream peanut butter, sugar and egg together.  If you want mini chocolate chips, add them after you cream the first three ingredients.  Take a spoonful of dough, form into a ball, place a peanut butter cup in the middle, cover PB cup completely.  Place on cookie sheet.  Bake for 8-10 mins on middle rack of oven.  *Do not over bake.  Remove, allow to cool.  Enjoy!

I've seen the recipe several times over the years.  One was just for peanut butter cookies, another was for Reese's Peanut Butter Cup cookies.  If you want just a simple peanut butter cookie, skip the peanut butter cups and chocolate chips.  If you prefer chocolate chip peanut butter cookies, skip the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.   Have fun with this easy recipe! Our house likes the peanut butter cups and mini chocolate chips!  Yum!
