Wow!  Christmas is almost here! 

I really can’t believe it.  Our kitchen renovation has had me a wee-bit distracted.

But I wanted to take a second to share with you some easy Christmas recipes.

First up is these chocolate-covered-marshmallows-on-pretzels-thingies.

A friend of ours made these at our sons’ piano recitals, and the boys just loved them.

They were easy to pick up and delicious to eat.

I  made some for Adam’s classroom party the next week, and they loved them too.

You basically stick two mini-marshmallows on the end of a pretzel stick and dip it in melted chocolate, then add sprinkles, and Voila!

Another recipe I love to make our these marshmallow-cornflake-holly-berry-thingies.

These are so festive and beautiful on a Christmas table.  Plus, they taste great!

It’s basically like making rice krispy treats.

I melted 1/2 stick of butter in a sauce pan, added a bag of marshmallows and let them melt together.  Then I added a ton of green food coloring to get that deep green color.  You can add a teaspoon of vanilla too, but I was out of it. 

Then you add 3 cups of corn flakes mix them with the marshmallow mixture.  Spoon some of the mix onto wax paper and had a few red hots to the top.  Then let cool.

How easy is that?! 

Warning: These treats will turn your tongue green.

Tomorrow night the boys and I will be making our buckeyes.  This is a tradition that I will never skip.  I’ve been making them as long as I can remember.  Over 30 years at least.

The boys love making them too.  We leave buckeyes for Santa Claus.

Click on the picture above to find the recipe and read the story behind why I’ve been making them since I was a child.

Lastly, every year I share this link again…

We call it “Snow”.  It’s basically white chocolate covered popcorn with M&M’s.  It is delicious!!!

Such a great little snack to have around at Christmas time.

I like to bag it up and give it as a little gift!

As a side note, we are almost finished with the kitchen.  I hope to show you how I’ve decorated my shelves for Christmas by tomorrow or Saturday.

Until then, I hope you are enjoying this season, and I pray that you would feel God’s love for you in a fresh way today.
