This was a hit at Christmas, but would be good anytime. It is chocolate. With the Kisses, it is double chocolate. Need I say more? It is adapted from the Baker Girl blog.
2 cups flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup powdered sugar
Hershey Kisses - I used Candy Cane Hugs - simply amazing! Something minty would be good too!
Beat together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
In a larger bowl, beat sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Stir flour mixture in. Refrigerate for about 2 hours.
Unwrap Kisses/Hugs and freeze.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place powdered sugar in a small bowl. Make small dough balls (will expand when baking) and roll in powdered sugar. Place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 11-13 minutes.
Remove from oven and immediately top with a frozen Kiss/Hug.

Just Like McYou-Know-Who French Fries
These are easy, cheap and taste just like the fast food restaurant with the CLOWN! I avoid the place because they have nothing healthy and I do not like clowns. Anyway, these take a little prep time, but can be put together while the burgers are on the grill. You'll be "lovin' it" clown-free. I got the original recipe from the Cincinnati Enquirer. You might want to double it if you are really hungry or craving fries!
1 1/4 tsp salt
2 large potatoes
1 tsp olive oil
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp. of the salt. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. On a cutting board, peel (if you want) the potatoes and cut lengthwise twice (so they look like thin French fries). Transfer the potatoes to the boiling water. Cook exactly 2 1/2 minutes. Drain in a colander. Set aside about 5 minutes to cool. Transfer the potatoes to a mixing bowl. Add oil and 1/2 tsp. salt. Carefully toss to coat well. Place in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Bake 20-25 minutes, turning several times while cooking. Add more salt, if desired. This will make about 2 portions.

Crock Pot Breakfast Casserole
This couldn't be easier and taste better. Would be great when you feel like "breakfast for dinner" or when you have a bunch of eggs that maybe just recently reached their expiration date (I won't tell). You can add more veggies, different meat.. whatever you like. Makes great leftovers, too.
1 pkg. frozen hash browns (I used the little cubes)
1 pkg. sausage crumbles (I used Morning Star Farm meatless sausage)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
12 eggs
1/2 cup milk
salt and pepper
Spray crock pot with Pam. Layer 1/2 the potatoes on the bottom. Top with 1/2 the sausage and cheeses. Layer again. Beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour over top. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours.
