If you are looking for a really fun and easy Christmas treat, then you are going to love this Christmas Wreath Marshmallow Treats recipe

You really can't mess the design up, so you could even let the kids help you decorate the wreaths.  Plus, the red and green colors are perfect to serve during the holidays.  They make a really pretty addition to any table.

Whether you are searching for a snack, an appetizer, or a light dessert, these Christmas wreaths would have you covered.  You can also make them ahead of time and freeze them. 


Christmas Wreath Marshmallow Treats Recipe


Bev Owens published the recipe for the Christmas Wreath Marshmallow Treats on Review This!  You can find her recipe and all of her great tips there.

I always prefer a recipe that is simple and one that you most often have all the ingredients on hand without having to run to the grocery store.  Since the Marshmallow Christmas Wreaths recipe is a combination of cereal, marshmallows, M&M's, food coloring, butter and vanilla, it is unlikely this recipe would send us out to gather supplies.  Especially at Christmas.  I might not always have M&M's on hand, but I do during the holidays.  I suspect that is true for most of us.

Making & Shaping the Marshmallow Wreath Treats


You can take the time to form these treats in the round wreath shape or you could make it easier on yourself and use the elongated wreath shape shown in the photos.  The elongated wreath really does make a nice cover up for any mistakes too.  A combination of shapes would be truly fantastic and look completely planned too.

This really is a fun recipe for several people to make together.  It is actually good to have helpers since the mixture starts to set pretty quickly as it cools. 


Wishing You All A Very Merry Christmas!

Fruitcake Cookies Recipe

Fruitcake Cookies
This Fruitcake Cookies recipe might not create the most beautiful cookies you will ever see, but they are definitely delicious.  We will have to refer to them as our Fun Food abstract art. 

The fruit candies add a lovely touch of color to these otherwise very plain looking cookies.  If we stare long enough, they take on a stain glass effect, at least color-wise.


Fruitcake Cookie Recipe


This is my mothers recipe for Fruitcake cookies.  I honestly do not remember a time in my life that she did not make them for my father for Christmas. 

One of my fondest mental images is of my dad standing at the kitchen counter with the open tin of homemade cookies in front of him.   As he munched on the fruitcake cookie in his hand, his eyes were fastened on the bounty before him.  I always wondered about his selection process.  What exactly was the prerequisite for his next choice in treats? 

I was always drawn to the colorful fruit, but he must have had a different focus because he always grabbed the absolute ugliest cookie from the tin.  I never really considered it at the time, but maybe he was leaving the prettier cookies for us.  Now, that thought makes those ugly cookies beautiful!

Fruitcake in Bite-size Morsels

These cookies are a powerhouse of taste.  They really are like having bite-size morsels of fruitcake with a bit of sweet cookie dough baked around them.

I actually like both a fruitcake and the fruitcake cookies, but the cookies are just so much easier to serve at a party or to eat as a snack.

What fun it would be to serve these Grinch fruit snacks at a Christmas party or for Christmas morning breakfast since the kids are always too excited to actually sit down at the table for a meal.  

I have to admit myself, anything to make Christmas morning a little easier, is definitely a gift to me.

Watch out though!  I do think these Grinch fruit snacks will be "stolen away" rather quickly.  You might have to hide a few for yourself.
