Spiders!!!!

I've gotten quite a few requests for my little spiders recipe.

INGREDIENTS

1 bag large marshmallows
1 pkg. chow mein noodles or stick pretzels
chocolate for melting and dipping
small candy for eyes (red hots or mini m&m's work great!)
wax paper to dry on

DIRECTIONS

1. Melt chocolate.
2. Take a marshmallow and stick in 6 chow mein noodles or pretzels for legs.
3. Dip marshmallow in chocolate on top side of spider.
4. Add candy eyes immediately
5. Let sit to "dry" on wax paper. Will go faster if put in refrigerator. They'll be dried and ready to go after 15-20 minutes in the fridge.

I store them in there once they are done so no little ones get ahold of them AND they don't melt =0).

Amish Loaf Bread

Ingredients:
2 c. warm water
2/3 c. granulated sugar
5 tsp. yeast
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. vegetable oil
5 1/2 c. flour

Directions:
In large glass bowl dissolve sugar in the warm water and stir in yeast. Allow to proof about 5-10 minutes. (It will look foamy.) Mix in salt and oil to the yeast. Mix in flour 1 cup at a time. When dough has formed a ball, knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth (not stick) about 5-10 minutes.

Wipe down previously-used glass bowl and oil it well. Place dough in bowl and turn to coat surface of dough with the oil. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap in a warm area. Allow to rise until it has doubled in bulk.

Knead dough lightly and divide in half. Shape into loaves and place into two well oiled 9 x 5-inch loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven for 5 minutes at 350 degrees F, and bake for 30 minutes or until top is golden brown.

Let bread sit for at least 15-30 minutes after it comes out of oven to finish setting up.
