Don Quijote autumn 2009 newsletter
Ingredients:
750gr. almonds (250 crushed, 500 ground)
200gr. of potatoes
200gr. of sugar
1 egg (whites and yolks separated)
Lemon peel shavings
500gr. pine kernel nuts
Preparation:
Boil potatoes in their skin with salt. Once cooked, peel and mash them with a fork.
Place aside 250gr of crushed almonds, to be used later for decorating the panellets. The 500gr of ground almonds are mixed evenly with the mashed potatoes, the sugar and the lemon shavings. Refrigerate this mass for about 4 hours.
After 4 hours, roll mass into small chestnut-sized balls. Beat eggs whites and yolks separately. Cover each ball with egg whites, then pass each one over the ground almond and pine kernel nuts until completely covered by them.
Place covered balls on baking paper and using a basting brush, brush the ball with egg yolk (for a golden color after baking). Bake balls at 200C for 8-10 minutes. After panellets have cooled, they are ready to eat!

I had this at the beach so I went hunting for the recipe. This one looks right.
Cookie pan with edge
Graham crackers
1 c. almonds (or pecans) or walnuts!
2 sticks butter (I use 1 of butter & 1 of butter)
1/2 c. sugar
Layer cookie pan with graham crackers (break them apart). Place close together so that most of the glaze will stay on top of the crackers. Sprinkle on nuts.Heat butter and sugar on low until butter melts and sugar is dissolved. Then bring to a boil for 2 minutes.
Pour mixture over crackers and nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.
Take out onto foil and let cool. (The first few are difficult to get out of pan.
NOTE: 1 box of graham crackers will make 3 pans of cookies.

Ingredients:
–caramel candies. This time of year in the produce section, there should be bags of soft caramel complete with popsicle stick handles.
–apples (one bag of caramel makes 4 large apples)
–nuts/sprinkles
–2 T water
The Directions:
Use a 1.5 quart or larger crockpot—I used a 4 quart.
Unwrap all of the caramel, and add them and 2 tablespoons of water to the crockpot. Cover and cook on high for 1 to 2 hours, checking every 20 minutes or so. The caramel is ready when it is shiny and can be stirred easily.
Put the popsicle sticks into the apples by the stems. Use a spoon to ladle the caramel over the apple, and swirl to completely cover the whole thing. Dip into chopped nuts or sprinkles if desired.
Let cool on parchment paper or Release foil.

Ingredients:
One box Pillsbury “pudding in the mix” yellow cake mix
1 egg, slightly beaten
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup Rice Krispies
Instructions:
Blend all ingredients together. Dough will be crumbly. Form into tight 1-inch balls, place on cookie sheet and flatten slightly. Bake in 350 oven for 10-12 minutes. Give them away to neighbors so you don’t gain 12 pounds.
Found here, borrowed from here. Looks like there’s a good Chicken and Dumpling recipe at Rocks in My Dryer too!
