Fuzzy Slipper Cookies

By -
I KNOW I saw this originally on another blog and would LOVE to give credit but can't find it!

I did remember how adorable I thought they were and how PERFECT for a weekend scrapbook crop.
:)

So yes, for the crop this weekend,
I made them.

It is a little futzy but SOOOO stinkin' cute when they are done - the gals loved them!

Start with Nutter Butters ... that yes, I had gotten with a coupon and hidden away so my cookie monster husband wouldn't eat them.
 Then, split them apart and scrape out the filling.
 I added a cup of peanut butter and a cup of powdered sugar and little butter (1 TBSP?) to it and zapped for a minute, stirred and zapped 30 seconds more. I wanted it all "creamy".
 While that was going - I took some pink candy melts and grated them with my Cuisinart. About 1/3 the average bag.
When the peanut butter was "creamy" I added it to the KitchenAid and blended it with a cup of powdered sugar.
While that was whipping away - I took the rest of the pink candy melts and added 2 squares of almond bark. I zapped it about 2 minutes and stirred until it was smooth. See - one bowl melted and creamy and one all grated up.
Now it's time to make the slippers! Get your toddler mindset on and pretend it's play dough molding time! I didn't want to stick my fingers in there so I grabbed the cone dowel from my Krumkake iron.
I will tell you to LEAVE THE COOKIES ON THE COUNTER while you do this. If you don't, you will use less than Christian language when they keep breaking in half in your hands....
Then you simply dip them in the gooey stuff first, then the crunchy stuff. No pictures of that (sorry) as I was doing this all myself and had slightly messy hands.
:)
Here is what they look like when you are done:
What do they taste like?
A vanilla dipped Nutter Butter.

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ).

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs ...
