Name: Purim Patties
Ingredients: 1 pk Chinese noodles; 2 c (dry roasted) unsalted peanuts; 1 pk Chocolate chips

Fear is selfish because it about protecting myself, my feelings, my stuff, rather than asking how I could heartily show love to God and others. Love reaches out to give and to meet the needs of another, but fear focuses on what I might lose, making me move away from the problem. Love causes me to work toward solutions even when I don’t really feel like doing that. Fear makes my world grow smaller and smaller as I seclude, hesitate, and self-protect. Love is so powerful it can cast out my fear when I allow God’s love to flow in me and through me!

INSTRUCTIONS

Linda asked what other pastries for Purim. Well here is a sweet that is not
a pastry or a cookie but a delightfully delicious and easy to make sweet
that I include in my shalach manot gifts. It's especially fun to make with
the children (and grandchildren, of course) because it's fast and there's
not baking or real cooking involved. When it's not Purim, we call them
spiders, but on Purim we call them "Purim Patties". Makes about 3 dozen
Mix the noodles and peanuts in a large bowl and set aside. Melt the
chocolate chips in a double boiler (NOT in the microwave) and, when melted,
mix with the noodle peanut mix. Mix well so that everything is coated with
the chocolate. Drop by teaspoonsful onto a waxpaper-covered cookie sheet
until set. (In humid Florida I sometimes set them in the refrigerator.)
These keep indefinitely, in the event there are any left over.
