Wow! Christmas is almost here!

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

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. Smile

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.

Today, I am excited to continue my Simple and Inexpensive Christmas series with another wonderful post by Tracie, from Cleverly Inspired!

Tracie is from Kentucky too!

So today is double the Traci(e) and double the Kentucky!

The recipe Tracie is sharing with you sounds so simple and so delish!

Here she is!

Hi, my name is Tracie and I am the author of Cleverly Inspired. My mission with my blog and anything that I write on it is to inspire you to be clever in your own life. I hope you find projects that you go out and do for yourself…and I hope you enjoy every minute of it. There is a sense of accomplishment that is so powerful when you can say…”yes, I made that…” A sense of pride is always a good thing. I am a firm believer that you are never supposed to stop learning. And the best part about learning something new is to share it with someone else. I am always sharing…whether it is a recipe, project, decorating tip, photography skill, the list goes on and on. My hope is that you enjoy learning too…and you pass it on.

I am so thrilled to be sharing here at Traci’s today! I thought it would be fun to share a recipe that would make great little neighbor, teacher, or hostess gift….fits so many occasions! Package the little loaves up with some wax paper and baker twine…a sweet card and your done! Something homemade is always in style…and appreciated!
