chocolate covered micheal jackson

(preferably for the little boys)

direction:
you 1st grab a micheal jackson cookie cutter (you can get one from the nearest safeway)
you put chocolate on your butt and squish it on in there... yesh!
you are now ready to start baking.
set the oven to 350 degrees and once it's set, just push it on in there and bake for 12 to 17 minutes.

my review:
micheal jacksons taste good, my son loves them

I have to say, last year I made a nicely-sized Christmas meal for my mom, dad, best friend, and myself. It was baked parmesan chicken with mashed garlic potatoes and turnips. I added some fruit to the side (I don't remember what), some eggnog, and cookies- I think. lol But that was the meal. And I bought all of the ingredients to cook myself for the chicken and mashed potatoes and turnips. I'm trying to find different recipes to try this year. (I love going all-out for Christmas.)

So, Story and myself have come up with a list of what to make for Christmas dinner. And it somehow grew a lot bigger than last year's version. Still sticking with the chicken, but we've decided to give it a tropical twist this year. Let's give it up for all the vitamin C. \/\/007!

Our main dish is going to be Rum Chicken (now there's a dish for Jack Sparrow... Johnny Depp FTW!), with sides of Hawaiian salad, Broccoli 'N' Cheese soup, and Hawaiian rolls with a cream cheese vegetable dipping sauce, followed up with a Pineapple 'N' Coconut cheesecake and a Strawberry Cheesecake with the drinks being Virgin Strawberry Daquiri and Mocha Mudslide (also virgin- yes, we killed the spirit... *coughs*).

There should be plenty of leftovers.

Anyone remember those Xmas cookies in the 2006 version of Black Christmas?

That's the only thing I remember from that movie.
