I'm starting to wake up, on my second cup of coffee and had my wakeup cigarette. Everything is ready for the party tonight. I need to shower yet and I have to pickup the Bloody Bat Wings at 10:45 this morning. So that will just leave Ice - I'll probably pick that up this afternoon. One of the walls in the dungeon is weeping, It only does that when we get a shit load of rain in a short time. It seems to be starting to dry up down there now, it is still raining out but it has slowed down. I will probably have to have the dungeon tuck-pointed come spring.

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 tbls. butter, softened
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
4 oz. vanilla-flavored candy coating
20 M&Ms
red and black decorator gel icing

1) In a mixing bowl, stir together peanut butter and butter. Gradually add powdered sugar, stirring until combined. Shape into 1-inch balls; place on waxed paper. Let stand about 20 minutes or until dried.
2) In a small sauce pan melt candy coating over low heat. Or you can microwave on 50% power (or defrost) for 1 minute (if not melted, heat again in 30 second increments). DO NOT OVER HEAT - it will dry out.
3) Dip balls, one at a time, into candy coating. Let excess drip off. Place on waxed paper. Immediately press an M&M (logo side down) into the center of each peanut butter ball. Let stand until coating is firm.

Variation: White chocolate may be used instead of vanilla-flavored candy coating.
