These are wonderful alternatives to all the sickeningly sweet candy served around this time of the year. They are treats, but they are not candy bars, so they are a nice change to give to trick-or-treaters or to use yourself in Samhain/Halloween celebrations!

Ingredients:

Directions:

In large bowl, mix oil, chocolate, and sugar. Blend in eggs, one at a time, stirring. Mix in vanilla. In small bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt. Stir flour mix into oil mix. Chill 4 hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spoon 1 tablespoon dough into a ball. Coat balls in confectioner's sugar. Place on baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake 10-12 minutes. Cool on the sheets for about three minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Yield: 3 dozen
