I have had a week…a week that I am going to be happy to see gone.
With this yucky week I learned a few life lessons:
#1 If it looks crazy and talks crazy..well, it’s probably crazy.
#2 The Rolo McFlurry is the perfect ice cream dessert.
#3 Never underestimate power in numbers.
And finally…the most important lesson I learned…
It’s a biggie so listen up…
Never EVER pose in a picture with you chin resting on your fist.
Pause and let that sink in.
Chins and fists should never meet unless you are Rocky Balboa trying to down Ivan Drago.
I see people posing like this on a fairly regular basis and I can’t help but wonder why they are doing it…
Like maybe their head is so heavy that they have to hold it up with their fist?
Or thy are so bored with someone trying to take their picture (ho-hum) that they need to rest their busy chin.?
Or maybe they just ate a bunch of beef jerky and their chin is tired from all the chewing?
Either way I don’t trust it…NOT AT ALL.
I was told by a friend recently that sometimes people are asked to “chin rest” to disguise a double chin.
Let’s be frank…your fist is hiding nothing.
It doesn’t really make you look smarter, or thinner or more thoughtful…
What it does is give you a one way ticket to Tool-ville.
My kids do a good fist/chin impression. It has become a running joke in our house.
Don’t they look smart?
While we are on the subject…there are a few poses that rank up there with the fist/chin…most frequently seen as facebook profile pics.
How about the ghetto face, usually accompanied by a gang symbol or a peace sign?
Or the sideways face, ala Paris Hilton?
What about the creepy gaze?
Or the open mouthed smile?
The list really goes on and on…and I KNOW you all are going to comment and remind me of some other horrendous poses. I know this because you are all cool and would never, EVER pose for an open mouthed, sideways ghetto faced, creepy gazed, fist/chin picture.
So now that I have gotten that off my chin (hehe) let’s move on to treats.
Easy ones.
Made with Bugles.
Sound good?
Start with your bag of Bugles.
Mix some peanut butter and powdered sugar together…
Give it a splash of milk and mix it up…
Fill a piping bag or a ziplock with the edge snipped off with the sweetened peanut butter.
And then squirt it in to your Bugles.
Repeat over and over…
Then melt some chocolate.
I used Dove Milk Chocolate because it is delicious.
And I dipped ’em.
And then I froze them.
And then I ate them up, one at a time 🙂

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Bugles
Ingredients
- 1 (7.5 oz) bag of Bugles
- 2 (9.5 oz) bags of Dove Milk Chocolates..use whatever chocolate you most prefer
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2+ Tbsp of milk
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine your peanut butter and powdered sugar. Add milk 1 Tbsp at a time until it’s smooth. (I used 2 Tbsp)
- Beat until smooth.
- Using a piping bag or a ziplock with the edge snipped off pipe the peanut butter into the Bugle.
- Melt your chocolate in the microwave for 1 minute on 50% power, stir and repeat for 15 seconds until melted.
- Dip the peanut butter end of the Bugle into the melted chocolate and set on a wax paper lined baking sheet.
- When all are dipped put in freezer until set and ready to eat.
Notes
I used Milk Chocolate for these, but that doesn’t set up hard, so if you prefer you can use candy melting disks or semi sweet chocolate. Also I like to eat these frozen, but you certainly don’t have to. These are best if eaten the same day you make them.
Do the bugels get soggy if they are stored for later enjoyment?
They won’t last too long. I find that they are best if eaten the same day!
I really like your blog recipes. There is a new platform where you can upload them and are seen with a design adapted to iPad. You can also link to your blog, get statistics … It is called cibos.me
What a great idea.I think colored candy melts would be pretty for Christmas in still of the chocolate.
I have been making these for years!! And was so excited to see that someone else makes them too!! I’ve never run into any one else that had ever heard of them. They are the most addicting thing I’ve ever eaten. I use straight up Peanut Butter and semi-sweet chocolate. I originally found them in a magazine and they called them Gabriel’s Horns. They had them completely covered in chocolate but after squishing PB into two bags of Bugels I was too tired to mess with a full dip so I’ve always just dipped the tips like you have. 😀
I love these my granny has always made these =)
Wow, such a beautiful snack, look wonderful and seems to be really delish!!!
Love the little faces!! they are just the cutest!! Thank you for sharing the bugles!! I love them, and love the idea… definitely using it this Christmas~~~ =) Merry Christmas and God Bless!!!
Okay everyone about the chin on fist pose everyone think maybe we should blame Rodan for it considering he sculpted “The Thinker” which many praise as a great work of art. Yes it may well be , But I prefer his “The Kiss”more dynamic.
Apparently, most of the younger generations today love posing like that which I really don’t why too. And regarding bugles, nice pictures… now I’m hungry just watching them. Thanks for the recipe, would like to make one. =)
Just wanted to let you know I tried to make these. Bugle needs to make a larger snack, lol, was so delicious but very hard to get the peanut butter yummy into the Bugle. You can see my attempt here
