Last year, I got this idea to do a caroling sleepover right before Christmas. I thought it would be fun to invite some girls in the neighborhood over, bake some goodies for our neighbors and then have a sleepover the following night to carol and deliver our goodies to our neighbors. We had so much fun last year, that we did it again this year. This has the makings of a Christmas tradition in our house. Last Thursday, we had 5 girls come over to help make our Christmas treats. We made Chex Muddy Buddies (Puppy Chow), Chex goin' fishin' snack mix and something a friend of mine just made. She didn't tell me the name, so we just called them Ronda's chocolate covered chips. This is Ronda's favorite Christmas goodie to share:
Ronda's Chocolate Covered Chips
1 bag butterscotch chips (we used Reese’s Peanut butter chips instead)
1 bag semi sweet chocolate chips
1 small can salted peanuts
¾ bag crumbled Ruffles Potato chips
Melt chips in microwave or double boiler. Pour over crumbled chips and add peanuts. Mix well and drop by spoonfuls into mini muffin cups and chill.
On Friday, 7 girls came over for our caroling sleepover and we had pizza then caroled through the neighborhood delivering our goodies to our friends. Kate and Sarah helped make personalized pillow cases for each girl. They used their newly learned sewing skills to make gifts for their friends.

Looks like fun!!
Today we made sugar cookies, peanut butter balls, Martha Washington balls, and mocha fudge. I still have a couple more things I want to make...tea cookies and bar cookies (to use up the other half of a can of sweetened condensed milk) and last week we made homemade caramels.
Those choc. covered chips sound good!!
sorry we missed the caroling, we sure enjoyed the treats!
thanks for the recipes!
That is the sweetest thing I've ever heard of! I wish we lived closer! Are big girls invited too? :) What a fun way to bless your neighbors. It seems like hardly anyone carols anymore. I think you might need to write a book of all your great ideas Audra. Audra Fruge' is the new Martha Stewart! :)
