My favorite Christmas treat is scotcharoos. Rice Krispies, peanut butter and chocolate.......mmmmmm.
I made a double batch yesterday for a bake sale at Lyman H.S. They were sitting on the table cooling when I left to pick Cait up from school. When we returned I could tell that something was wrong. Godiva didn't come running up to meet us and wouldn't look me in the eye when I found her hiding in her bed.
It didn't take long to figure out what the problem was......she'd gotten into the scotcharoos on the table. Aargh! She'd licked the chocolate off the treats. I was a little frustrated about the loss of my scotcharoos but more concerned about all of the chocolate she'd eaten.
Everything seemed ok when we left for Zac's performance (it was awesome). When we returned home and opened the front door it hit us. The smell was horrible and we knew it was bad, bad, bad! Godiva had gotten sick all over the Florida room. What a mess! It was everywhere! Thank goodness we'd removed the carpet and put down tile several years ago. Zac and I started cleaning up the worst of it and when we were done Cait got mopping duty. Needless to say, Godiva spent the rest of the night in her crate. She still looks very pale this morning but there haven't been anymore accidents.
Now, the big question is......do I use the same treats and just recover them in chocolate for the bake sale this afternoon? ;-)

I vote that you just cover what's left with a new batch of chocolate coating. Just think of it like this, now they have extra vitamins (or something). :)
USE THEM AND NEVER SAY A WORD!
