I love my extended family! We like to have lots of fun - and take nothing seriously. That's probably why we have some odd family traditions. My wonderful Grandma, who tries so hard to make holidays special - she bakes up a storm.
Well, folklore says that my uncle, the big jokester, changed the name of one of my Grandma's famous holiday treats. Their real name is "Chocolate Covered Logs," but that's not what my family calls them! Maybe you can guess - here's my daughter eating one...

I thought you may like the recipe, so you can share this yummy treat with your family:
Chocolate Covered Logs ("Turds")
1 C Dates (cut them finely, the pre-cut ones are chewier)
1 C Powdered Sugar
2 Tbsp Melted Butter
1 C Peanut Butter
1 C Rice Krispies
Mix all ingredients with hands. Shape into balls or logs. Dip in 1 bag of melted Chocolate Chips. (You can add up to one square paraffin to make shinier).
