every year at the holidays, I always give my friends some homemade desserts. Since I am unable to give you guys a homemade gift, if it's ok, I will share my recipes with you. Since there is no mj in the recipes, that is why it is here, I understand if it needs to be moved. I will start with the recipes that kids can make(or the unexperienced cook) that are amazing, and work my way up.
Martian ****:
1 box jello pistachio pudding
1 SMALL PACKAGE cool whip
1 16 oz can crushed pineapple(DO NOT DRAIN)
1 small bag of miniature marshmellows
throw all the ingredients into a big bowl and stir until well mixed, let set in fridge until chilled. serve.:aok:
Peanut Butter Kisses: (my daughter has been making by self since 4)
1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky, it doesn't matter)
1/2 cup karo corn syrup
1 cup dry powdered milk
powdered sugar
in medium mixing bowl mix peanut butter and corn syrup until well stirred. add powdered MILK. mix until it forms a ball. in wax paper or foil, spread layer of powdered sugar. put mix ball on powdered sugar, and roll into a log. cover and let set in fridge for about an hour, and then cut into bite size chunks, and serve. (this recipe got me an A+ in a college class):banana:
Reindeer Mix: (slightly more complicated, but still a cinch)
1 bag pretzel sticks
1 bag m&ms plain
1 16oz. can peanuts
3 cups corn chex
3 cups rice chex
2 package almond bark- chocolate or white(or if more experienced, one of each)
follow instructions for melting bark on package( use double boiler or pan of hot water to melt...water must NOT get into bark). while melting, mix other ingredients into HUGE bowl, 2 if necessary. butter or spray 3 long pieces of aluminum foil. when bark is melted, pour into bowl(s) with other mixed ingredients. coat all pieces with the chocolate. spread mix onto foil, and let set until hardened(this does not take very long at all, maybe 20 mins.). break into hand or bite size peices. (I usually add a small melted bowl of white chocolate - drizzle over top of spread out mix to add splash of color and different taste). great for parties, your guests will see what animal shapes they have!:dancing:
Corn Flake Crispies:
1 cup karo corn syrup
1 cup peanut butter
2 cups sugar
12 cups corn flakes
In medium size pot, over med. low heat add first three ingredients, cook until well blended(while stirring) and makes a thick liquid. In a seperate large bowl have corn flakes measured and waiting. Pour liquid over flakes and coat thoroughly. pour onto greased cookie sheet and let set until hardened, then cut into squares. You may remember this from school and it also makes excellent mouse bait.
These are my great tasting, party favorite recipes, that people think I slave in the kitchen to make, that are all really easy. Just thought i would share. Happy Holidays!:grinch:
