Goober Haystacks!

I adore Paula Deen! I've been watching her since "Paulas Home Cooking" premiered on the Food Netwok.My middle daughter always watches her with me whenever she's on and it's become a sort of "bonding time" for us.We've whipped up so many of her recipes and I just love that time that she and I spend together.Well,when I saw this.......



I knew I had to get it for her for Christmas!This will actually be the 2nd cookbook I've gotten for her but I think she'll really love this one. I glanced through it a bit and found this yummy recipe.It would be fun to make with the kids or for a Halloween party.

microwave for 15 seconds more and stir again.

may need an adult to help you . Use a teaspoon to scoop out a little of the mixture and mound it on to the waxed paper. These
should look like haystacks.
