Christmas Wreath Cookies
One year, I made these cookies with my kids. They were quick and fun for them to make. I thought that maybe we would try them again this year using rice krispies instead of corn flakes?
Anyone have any other variations that would be quick and easy for children to prepare?
1/2 cup butter
3 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp green food coloring
4 cups corn flakes
Melt butter, add marshmallows. When mixture is smooth, add extracts, coloring, and cereal. Make into wreath shapes.
Decorate with red cinnamon candies and silver balls.
Spiced Cranberry Cider Mix
There nothing nicer to give or receive than a homemade gift from the heart. How about making up a batch of this wonderful warm spiced cider to give to your loved ones for Christmas.
1/2 Cup Dried Cranberries
12 Cinnamon Sticks
1/2 Teaspoon crushed whole Cloves
2 Tablespoon Whole Allspice
Stir together ingredients. Store in an airtight container. Decorate the container with beautiful Christmas ribbons and bows. Attached a tag to the container that has the following information on it:
Spiced Cranberry Cider Mix
2 quarts apple cider
1 quart water
1 package Spiced Cranberry Cider Mix
2 oranges, sliced
In a large saucepan combine the cider, water, and Spiced Cranberry Cider Mix. Heat thoroughly but do not boil. Add most of the orange slices. Serve warm, garnished with the remaining orange slices. Great for holiday
entertaining and fall get-togethers.
