December 24, 2004 - Cocoa Rice Krispie Treats
I made Cocoa Rice Krispie Treats yesterday to take to the holiday party that my belly dancing class was having. They were a recipe I got through Weight Watchers and are one point each. I thought they turned out quite well.
When I got to the class, a number of people had already arrived. They'd brought cookies, crackers and cheese, and chips and dip.
As soon as she found out that I had Cocoa Rice Krispie Treats, the woman
who wouldn't eat anything at the holiday hafla
up and had a few. She kept going back for them, so that's clearly one
of the foods she does enjoy eating. It made me happy to see her so excited
about them.
We watched videos our instructor had brought along to share. Some of them were performances by herself or people she knew, and some were movies with belly dancing scenes in them.
Mainly, we watched videos of her and people she knew. That was really fun, especially some of the videos, which were of folkloric dancing. In those dances, people wore traditional costumes from different countries and performed traditional dances.
I could only stay so long until I had to go back and do my evening assignments. But in the spirit of the holiday season, I'll share the recipe with you.
COCOA KRISPIE BARS
1 Tbsp light margarine 2pt
1 square (little less than an ounce) bakers chocolate 3pt
1.5 cups marshmallow creme 9pt
1.5 tsp vanilla 0pt
1 pkg Swiss Miss light hot cocoa 1pt
6 cups Rice Krispies 11.5Spray a 13X9 inch pan with cooking spray. Melt margarine and Bakers chocolate in a large saucepan over low heat. Add other ingredients except the cereal and stir until smooth. Add cereal and stir until well coated. Spread into the pan pressing down evenly (covering the mixture with saran wrap makes this easier. Let cool 10 minutes and cut into 24 pieces. If you wait longer it gets hard to cut.
24 servings, 1 POINT each
Happy holidays!
Moral:
Belly dancers are great cookie bakers.
