1 stick of butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups creamy peanut butter
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup confectioners' sugar
Cream together the butter, vanilla, salt and peanut butter. Stir in 2 cups of the confectioners' sugar, and graham cracker crumbs. Form the mixture by hand into 1 inch balls. Roll each ball in the remaining cup of confectioners' sugar. Set the balls in a single layer on a cookie sheet and refrigerate until firm. At this point the cookies may be dipped in melted chocolate or they can be left plain. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
I came upon this recipe yesterday on http://www.allrecipes.com/, which is my favorite site to go to when it comes to finding a great recipe quick. These taste just like peanut butter cups! We just got a thing of chocolate that you can melt in the microwave and dip the balls in, and after a few minutes the chocolate forms a hard shell. Very simple and delicious! On the website it said that this recipe would make 100 peanut butter balls, but we ended up with about 50. And we were actually thinking about cutting the recipe in half, but I am so glad that we didn't! I hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

Touch of Heaven Ham Rolls
4 pkgs. Hawaiin Rolls
1 lb. deli Virginia Baked Ham
1 pkg. Swiss Cheese
Spread
2 sticks butter, softened
3 Tbsp. mustard
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
1 onion, grated
3 Tbsp. poppy seeds
Split rolls in half. Spread mixture on both sides of roll. Place a slice of ham and a slice of swiss cheese on each roll. Bake at 350° for 10 to 15 minutes.
I had completely forgotten about these until Vann and I went to Nashville for Thanksgiving, and my Mom and made them for everyone to snack on Thanksgiving Day. I can promise you that you will not be able to eat just one of these little suckers! Of course, these weren't the only thing on the table. When I had talked to Mom that morning, she told us not to worry about bringing anything to eat because there was plenty of food there already. I was thinking that there would just be a few things on the table, but when we got to the house, the whole kitchen table was crammed full of food. Sausage balls, peanut butter and chocolate desserts, ham wrapped pickles (which sound odd, but they were absolutely delicious!), touch of heaven ham rolls, veggies and dip, etc.
Basically, when it came time to eat our Thanksgiving meal, it was rough! But not too rough. :) The meal was absolutely wonderful! I would definitely suggest doing what our parents did and get your meal catered by Kroger if you get a chance. The meat was juicy (they cook the turkey for you), and all of the sides were out of this world. And the stuffing....oh, the stuffing....no Thanksgiving meal is complete without it. I felt like I was about to be thrown into the oven to bake I was so full. But anyway, add this to your recipe collection, folks! You won't regret it one bit.
