As, I was making these, my nephew's were running around chasing each other and driving my sister and I bonkers, when Michael, my oldest, said to the other two, Hey if you don't behave, Santa's gonna give u this 'Bag of Coals, (holding the sheet pan of cookies) and that is how the recipe was 'Born':) Ingredients:
one box fudge brownie mix |
1 tsp. vanilla extract |
1 tsp. almond extract |
1/2 c. walnuts (crushed) |
4 bars of dark chocolate |

9. Let cookies cool on wire rack (about an hour)
10. When cooled, gently dip each cookie in candy
11. place each cookie on plate lined with waxed paper put in frig until candy is hardened.
12. I serve these on a 'turkey platter dusted with the powdered sugar to look like fallen snow and place cookies loosely around each other
13. Also, makes a great gift!

16. lightly dust the cookies with the powdered sugar
