0/5 ( ratings)

Christmas is fun giving time of the year and of course can be very straining on the old credit card
This year I decided that I would not rely on the credit card so much for my giving but rather get creative and make some beautiful Christmas cookies, package them up you can find many ready made bags for less than £1 from the pound shop but I actually made my own I then filled these bags with these beautiful cookies that honestly look too cute to eat some of them :)

The ones that didn't quite make it where santa's leg fell off for example where eagerly eaten up by my children so nothing at all went to waste! I was able to make a huge batch of 20 different cookies then mixed them all up and filled the bags I just can't wait to hand them out to family and friends this year!

Here is just one of the really easy recipes that is included in this book

Egg nog Fudge

Makes about 81

1/8 cup butter
3 cups sugar
1 cup eggnog
6 ounces white chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup mini-marshmallows
1 cup almonds, chopped
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Line a 9 x 9-inch cake pan with aluminum foil and set aside.
Spray the sides of a large saucepan with butter-flavor non-stick spray.
Add the eggnog and sugar, and bring to a rolling boil over medium to medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
Boil for two full minutes. Fold in the marshmallows, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring back to a rolling boil for another 6 minutes, stirring constantly.
The mixture will start to turn brown, which is normal, but if you see brown flakes in the mixture then turn down the heat a little.
Remove from heat and add the butter, chips, and nuts. Stir until thoroughly mixed or until the mixture starts to lose its glossy appearance.
Pour into prepared pan. Cool at room temperature. Remove from pan, remove foil, cut into 1-inch squares.

enjoy! happy munching!
