Here is one that is quite simple yet delicious.

Pretzels-I use Snyders snaps. Rolos and pecans halves.

Take a cookie sheet lined with foil. Place pretzel down then place rolo on pretzel. Put in oven for 5 minutes on 300 degrees. Remove from oven press pecan halve onto rolo, cool.(I have good luck putting them in the frezer for a bit before taking them off the foil. Yummmmmmmmmmy!

Here's my favorite EASY one:

Peanut Butter Balls:

1 -18 oz jar of peanut butter (creamy works best)

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

2 cups chocolate chips

Mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar together. Form into about 1" balls. Set the balls in the freezer for about 1/2 hour. Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler (I have done it in the microwave just fine). Once the balls are chilled, dip them in chocolate.
