We've got one along these lines somehow called peanut butter kisses.

Melt 1 bag of butterscotch chips and 3/4 of a cup of peanut butter together using a double boiler. Start melting the chips first, they take a little longer to melt. Pour the peanut butter and butterscotch mixture over 6 cups of corn flakes and stir, coating the corn flakes. Scoop tablespoon size clumps onto wax paper, refrigerate, eventually moving them to an air-tight container.You can adjust that recipe if you want a more peanut buttery flavor or more butterscotch flavor.

Bourbon balls are bomb

This month Otis Spunkmeyer's cookie of the month that we are selling is a Butter Sugar Peppermint Christmas cookie. God its good!

My wife's oatmeal and snickerdoodle cookies are an awesome Christmas treat. I can't give up the recipes though. Family secret and all (LOL!).
