Cow Pies

1 12oz. bag gluten-free chocolate chips

1 T. shortening

1/2 cup dried fruit

1/2 cup chopped nuts

In microwave safe bowl, melt chips and shortening 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.

Stir in fruit and nuts.

Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper lined cookie sheets. Chill until firm.

I used to make these using marshmallows in place of the dried fruit for Rocky Road. You can even stir in some peanut butter too. These keep a long time in the fridge.

Hee hee, cow pies......

The melted choc chip shortening mix is also what I use for dipping things like strwberries or pretzels, it works quite well. Stays stuck on what you dip, instead of breaking off in pieces.

Yum - rocky road treats! That sounds so good right now. I am craving something sweet. Except I think marshmallows have corn in them (corn syrup). I hope I am wrong, or I hope there is a substitute. Though peanut butter and chocolate sound really good as well.
