    List of Ingredients




    Bumblebees

    1/2 cup peanut butter
    1/2 cup shortening
    1/3 cup packed brown sugar
    1/3 cup honey
    1 egg
    1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    3/4 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    8 dozen pretzel twists
    8 dozen pretzel sticks

    Recipe



    Beat peanut butter, shortening, brown sugar, honey and egg in large bowl with electric
    mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, baking soda and baking
    powder. Cover dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm.

    Heat oven to 350º. Shape dough into 1-inch balls (dough will be slightly sticky).
    For each cookie, place 2 pretzel twists side by side with the bottoms (the bottom
    comes to a rounded point, similar to the bottom of a heart shape ) touching on ungreased
    cookie sheet. Place 1 ball of dough on center, and flatten slightly. Break 2 pretzel
    sticks in half. Gently press 3 pretzel stick halves into dough for stripes on bee.
    Break fourth pretzel piece in half. Poke pieces into 1 end of dough for antennae.

    Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until light golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie
    sheet to wire rack
