we are home again today.  i am sitting in the dining room, sipping my cappuccino and watching the neighborhood attempt to unbury itself from several feet of snow.  the wind has other plans.  he is gusting with icy force down the street and making the efforts of those attempting to clear their sidewalks nearly impossible.  i think i shall stay put for a while and let that mighty wind have his moment.  and sweet ludwig - the neighbor dogs are body surfing through the snow and he is snoring in front of the fire.  we knew quite early last night that it would be another snow day and we decided to celebrate accordingly.  peanut butter and oatmeal balls spiked with chocolate chips and rolled in cinnamon sugar - happy snow day treats...

~ 1 c. honey

~ 1 c. peanut butter

~ 1 1/8 c. non-fat dry milk

~ 1 c. oatmeal

~ 1/2 c. chocolate chips

~ 1/4 c. sugar

~ 1 T cinnamon

mix the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and set aside.  in another bowl beat the remaining ingredients together.  roll into small balls in your hand then toss into the sugar and cinnamon mixture.  you can put them in the fridge to set up for a few hours - but we like them soft and tasting like cookie dough.

Oh my goodness--does this mean I don't have to feel guilty about not baking cookies and just eating all the dough?

looks and sounds SO yummy!

And here I was complaining that is was a "mind numbing" 48 degrees. Of course, if it was a snow day, I'd get to keep my oldest peanut at home with me. {missing him terribly today.}

Quick question--is the oatmeal cooked?

[jla]

oh goodness anne - i hope not - we eat a LOT of dough in this house ;)

hi jules - no - just use the oats as you buy them!

Thank you so much! I was encouraged to do something now. Never give up our dream, the youth is our factor of success.

These sound so good. Just checking - is that 1 and 1/8 cup dried milk, not just one-eighth?

[jla]
