Hello,
I'm preparing the snacks for my book club meeting. Usually the snack
foods are taken from some mention in the current book we're reading.
We just finished Skipping Christmas, and the foods that stick out in
my mind are white chocolate and pistachios. Does anyone have a good
(but easy) recipe that includes one or both? Also, any ideas for a
beverage? This will be a small group 6-8, and the meeting will be in
the library of an elementary school so I won't be able to heat
anything.

Thanks for your help! Marilyn


Take your basic Scotchies recipe ...replace the butterscotch chips with
white chocolate and add the chopped nuts....makes a fine cookie.
