Christmas Recipes (Highest Rated)

A "Dutch" treat, usually made around Christmas (when almond paste is available in our stores). We also buy the paste and freeze it so that we can make banket for our school auction in April.
Need 2 days to make this recipe. The 1st 2 steps takes only about 15-20 minutes. The second day takes about 15-30 minutes depending on how good you are at rolling out dough. Cook time is 20-30 minutes.

This pie will knock your socks off! I make it without pie crusts to save LOTS of calories! Recipe makes two pies, six slices per pie. You can, of course, cut it into eight pieces, but it's relatively healthy, so why bother? A nice Christmas alternative to yet another pumpkin pie! Better texture than pumpkin, and you only need three sweet potatoes for two pies!

This is the absolute best tasting fudge in the entire world. I do not use low fat ingredients for this one. If you want a low fat fudge try my Chocolate Cream Cheese Fudge.

This only takes 2 minutes in the microwave and tastes decadent! You can add nuts, peanut butter, marshmallows... The nutritional information here only include this basic recipe from Kraft Food and Family.

Crush vanilla wafers in plastic bag.
Mix in Rum, Powdered Sugar and corn syrup until the vanilla wafers are moist
