Today, I'm making oatmeal cranberry cookies, brownies, carrot cake and candies.

I'd like a few more recipes of things to add to my gift boxes that I give as treats. I haven't done this in a few years.

I was thinking I might make some lemon bars too.

Glogg.

2 bottles of red
2 bottles of port
whole cloves
cardamom
cinamon sticks
fresh ginger, slivered paper thin
raisins
slivered almonds
sugar to taste
1 bottle of aquavit
fresh orange zest

Heat the 4 bottles of wine and port in a non-reactive large pan. Add the spices. Simmer.

Meanwhile, pour one cup of the aquavit over a cup of sugar in a medium sauce pan. Light on fire. When the flame dies down, it will leave a thick sweet liquid. Add that to the wine mixture and let it sit for two hours (off the heat). Add a pint more of aquavit, and serve in warmed mugs with a twist of orange and a scoop of raisins and almonds.

Chocolate candies with pecans.

Oh, sounds yummy!
Have you ever made Buckeyes?
They're easy and only use 4 ingredients.

Chocolate chips (a 12 ounce bag)
9 ounces of peanut butter
1 stick of margarine
2 3/4 cups of powedered sugar (approx.)

You melt the butter on low heat and after it's melted stir in the peanut butter. Remove from the heat and add the powdered sugar. Stir until it all comes together like a dough. Roll it into balls and dip in the the melted chocolate chips. You're supposed to leave a tiny bit of the peanut butter showing so that they look more like actual buckeyes. How many this makes will depend on how large you make them.

The easiest Christmas candy ever

Buy pretzel rings, Hershey's Hugs & Kisses, and some of the Christmas M&M's.

Place pretzel rings on a cookie sheet and put a Hug or a Kiss inside of each one.

Bake at low temp (about 200F) for about 3-5 minutes (just long enough that the chocolate gets a little melty)

Press an M&M into the Hug/Kiss of each pretzel. It will look kinda like a little wreath.

The salt from the pretzel mixed with the two types of chocolate (and candy from the M&M) really go well together, and they look GREAT!

Do you have the recipe, sexy-girl?

all she did was roll out some puff pastry and laid some thinly rolled sausage meat (from a butchers) on the pastry and then just rolled the pastry over sealing it with a little water then cutting the sausage roll's to how big you want them


they took about 20mins in the oven


maybe they are too easy to count as home made
