Finger food fruit in waffle cones.  So cute!

Cookie dough in small glasses or covered in chocolate.
Here is the recipe from mycomputerismycanvas.com

3/4c brown sugar
1 box instant vanilla pudding (3oz box)
 1/4c milk
1/2T vanilla 1 t baking soda
2.5c flour
2c chocolate chips
In large bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until fluffy.
Add pudding and stir well.
Add milk, vanilla, and baking soda.

To make truffles: form shilled dough into balls and freeze. Dip balls in melted chocolate and chill again to set. serve cold

How long does this take?

This took 31 min. My new idea for dishes is to hand wash them and let the dishwasher rinse them. I like the security of knowing that each dish is clean. And that they were rinced at very high temperature. It also saves wear and tear on my hands.
