I take my emersion blender and blend it all including bay leaves. Once blended nicely I add the cream (or half & half), and stir in the cheese.

Take the first 5 ingredients and mix together well. Once mixed, mix in the rice krispies in. Make balls with the dough. I like to throw outside for a few minutes to harden them up. But you can put them on fridge or freezer til chocolate is ready. I find they work best in the chocolate when cold.

I made a double broiler for the chocolate and oil. I use a fork to turn the balls in the chocolate and to take them out. Lay out separate on non stick sheet. Let chocolate harden. These never last, I always make double batch.

I like taking simple vanilla cookies. Any brand will do. Fill with icing to make sandwiches. We dunk in chocolate and decorate with more icing.

I do a double boiler. Add some chocolate and a tad bit of oil. Semi sweet chocolate is best but you can use any. Melt. I use a fork to turn marshmallows around in the chocolate and to take out. I sprinkle a little bit of Christmas sprinkles on top.
