White Christmas (just like the one i used to know)

Ingredients:
1 cup sprinkly coconut
2 cups rice bubbles (preferably more snap and crackle than pop)
1 cup icing sugar
1 cup powdered milk
185g chopped red frogs (hey Andy!)
60g chopped glazed cherries
250g copha

What to do:
Place all the ingredients except the copha in a large bowl.
Place all of the remaining ingredients (that's the copha) in a saucepan or microwave.
Melt the copha in the saucepan or microwave until it has melted
Pour the melted copha into the bowl with the other ingredients in it
Mix it up like a free improvisation in a Christmas stocking
Press all the mixed up ingredients into a groovy tray lined with gladwrap
Refrigerate it in the fridge until it's solid (like a good bass player)
Carefully cut into tecelating geometric snowflake shapes.
Eat

Bebop Bites

Grab your hippest saucepan, and fill it with:
1/2 cup of margarine
2 cups of sugar
1/2 cup of milk

Boil it for about 30 bars of straight-ahead swing (or 1 minute).

Then remove it from the heat, and add:
3/4 cup peanut butter
6 tablespoons cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla escence

Stir it man! Stir it!

Then add in 3 cups of oats and improvise some flour till you get a vibing consistancy. You can even throw in some sesame seeds for extra embellishment.

Now for the big finish, spoon up the goo into bite-sized bits, and lay them down on some smooth wax paper. And that's it. No need for an oven, these babies will set by themselves!

Tastey!
