When we were little my sister and I made ornaments for Christmas presents. I made angels and she made Santas. We would wrap them in tissue paper and put them in one of our mother’s many wicker baskets and then give them out to family members on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (Christmas Eve was with Dad’s family Christmas Day was with Mom). Our mother still has many of the ornaments and still hangs them on her tree every year. I look at them and think wow I was such a handy kid! For example my pasta angel: made of rigatoni with wooden heads glued to the rigatoni and little pasta stars glued to the wooden head for hair. Pretty complicated for an 11 year old!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Yogurt Bark😍 #healthyrecipes #healthysnacks #snackideas
We always had fun making our ornaments. But over the years ornament making has morphed into cookie making. I made chocolate truffles and my sister made cornflake clusters. Both were received with enthusiasm and were usually eaten within 24 hours. No one seemed to miss the ornaments very much. I can't blame them.
My sister’s cornflake clusters were particularly delicious. I’m not sure where our mother got the recipe from but it’s been around for years. Even though we don’t make Christmas cookies anymore we still often make a few servings of cornflake clusters. We like to be satisfied. The traditional recipe calls for butterscotch chips and peanut butter melted and mixed with cornflakes but since I’m on a serious Nutella binge right now I thought I’d try it as a butterscotch replacement with Nutella peanut butter. It makes for a stickier cluster but is just as deliciously addictive as the original.
