Recipe Introduction


Growing up, my mother was a permanent fixture in the kitchen. I would come home from school and find warm muffings on the table or wake up on Sunday morning to the smell of blueberry pancakes. The year I got married, my mother gave me a handwritten book of all her recipes. Although I use it all year long, the book is especially handy around the holidays. I can prepare all the sweet treats that have been a benchmark of the festive season for as long as I can remember. This recipe for Chocolate-Dipped Snowballs is the first thing I make for our family gatherings. It's my updated version of a favorite my sisters and I always requested from Mom.





List of Ingredients



• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
  
• 1 pkg. (10 oz.) Jet-Puffed Marshmallows
  
• 5 cups Post Honey Bunches Of Oats with Almonds Cereal
  
• 1 container (7 oz.) Baker's Real Dark Semi-Sweet Dipping Chocolate
  






Instructions



1. MELT butter in large saucepan on low heat. Add marshmallows; cook 5 min. or until marshmallows are melted and mixture is well blended, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in cereal. Cool slightly.
   
2. SHAPE into 24 balls with moistened hands. Place on wax paper-covered baking sheet; cool completely.
   
3. HEAT dipping chocolate as directed on container. Dip top of each ball in chocolate; return, dipped-side up, to baking sheet. Refrigerate 15 min. or until chocolate is firm. Cover and refrigerate remaining dipping chocolate.
