Peanut Butter Stuffed Chocolate Dipped Bugles

Previously, on The Cookie Puzzle,

I made

Peanut Butter Stuffed Chocolate Dipped Bugles.

The following takes place between

this post and my next post.

Have you heard?

I am DYING!

My favorite show is coming back for

a 12 episode mini-series in May.

Jack Bauer is BACK!

Yep...that is right.

24 baby!

I am beyond excited!

I love me some Jack, and having Chloe back just makes

the world a better place!

Actually, I made these last week, but have not had

time to post them yet, mainly because, well, I did

not know what to write in the post.

See...these are crazy easy, no real recipe per se,

and well I have been racking my brain, trying

to think of a "story" to tie in with Bugles.

Since I heard the news about 24, I thought I would

talk about it, cause I am super nerdy, and only

a twisted mind like mine would think,

"Hey, 24 is back, sound the bugles"

Did you catch that?

Yep...lame.

But oh well, I get to share this

super easy treat.

I grabbed a bag of Bugles, sorted out the "good" ones, by

good ones, I mean the ones that all whole, with a hole to fill.

I then put some peanut butter in a piping bag, or a sandwich bag,

would work too.  I then filled the bugles, and then dipped them

in melted almond bark, chocolate would work too.

I placed them on a wax paper lined cookie sheet and

sprinkled them with sprinkles, because sprinkles make

everything better.

Jack told me that.

"Dammit Kim, I need those Sprinkles, NOW"

HEHEHE.

Yep....I am a cornball.

So...sound the Bugles...24 is back baby!

Confession time.  Don't judge me, ok?

I can not make Rice Krispie Treats.  There...I said it!

My name is Kim, and I can not make Rice Krispie Treats!

Is there a group for that?  Where you stand up and make your confession...

:"Hi, My name is Kim......and I can not make Rice Krispie Treats."

"Hi Kim"

Ok...I don't know what the problem is.  They always come out either one of two ways...they are either
rock hard....or...they are so soft that you have to eat them with a spoon.

But never fear....I found a solution.  If you are like me and all "I can not make Rice Krispie Treats" like me.  I can hook you up.


I found this recipe in the Better Homes and Garden New Cook book that I got when I got married.  I am not sure why I have never found it before...but it is life changing.  Now I can make Krispie treats.  I changed it up a little and used Jiff Whipped Chocolate Peanut butter, but I am sure regular peanut butter would be great...or Nutella....or Biscoff....or maybe marshmallow cream...YUMMY!


Ready?
