Deep-fried Oreos
Makes about 45 Oreos, or 45 servings
4 teaspoons oil, plus oil for deep frying
2 cups pancake mix
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
45 Oreo cookies (one 18-ounce package)
Powdered sugar, for garnish
Preheat oil in deep fryer to 375 degrees. Meanwhile, combine pancake mix,
granulated sugar, cinnamon, eggs, milk and four teaspoons oil; mix until no
lumps remain in batter. Working in small batches, dip Oreos into batter,
making sure both sides are totally covered, and slip Oreos into the hot oil.
(Cook one or more test cookies first, because it takes doing a few to get
them to turn out right; and, of course, don't eat the test cookies, Gleckler
says.) Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 15 to 30 seconds per
side; watch carefully so they don't burn. Drain cookies on absorbent paper,
sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve hot.

Gourmet Reindeer Poop
Gourmet Reindeer Poop
=====================
1/2 cup butter
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons cocoa
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups oatmeal, not instant
1/2 cup chopped nuts, optional
Mix butter, sugar, milk and cocoa together in a large saucepan.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; boil for 1 minute. Remove from
heat and stir in remaining ingredients. Drop by teaspoon full (larger
or smaller as desired) onto wax paper and let harden. They will set
up in about 30-60 minutes. These will keep for several days without
refrigerating, up to 2 weeks refrigerated and 2-3 months frozen.
Pack into ziplock sandwich bags and attach the following note to
each bag:
I woke up with such scare when I heard Santa call...
"Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!"
I ran to the lawn and in the snowy white drifts,
those nasty reindeer had left "little gifts".
I got an old shovel and started to scoop,
neat little piles of "Reindeer Poop!"
But to throw them away, seemed such a waste,
so I saved them, thinking-you might like a taste!
As I finished my task, which took quite awhile.
Old Santa, passed by and he sheepishly smiled.
And I heard him exclaim as he was in the sky...
"Well they're not potty trained, but at least they can fly!"
