In Googling around for ideas for a holiday treat auction, we ran across photos of these. They are fairly easy to make, yet a nice and somewhat different treat for the holidays. It probably would have helped if it weren’t 80 ˚F in December to make these, but such is life. The chocolate took a while to cool, making the process a bit slower than expected.
These are a very easy treat to get kids of any age involved in!
They kept fairly well for a few days in the fridge. But probably wouldn’t want to push it much beyond that. Once they are cool, store in a tupperware.

Living in the south, you would think that okra is everywhere. But really we don’t run into it that much, and when you do see it, chances are it is breaded and fried. There is nothing wrong with fried okra, but surely there’s more to okra than that?!?
