Holiday Cheer Returns Tomorrow

It's that time again for Holiday Cheer...daily recipes and holiday quotes.  I'll re-post some old stand-by recipes, along with some new ones during the month.  AND I'll be giving away prizes periodically, too. So if you leave a comment with your email you'll be entered in the drawing. The first prize up will be Kohl's Cares Good Housekeeping "A Very Merry Christmas" Cookbook. It "features hearty dishes, mouthwatering cookies and traditional table centerpieces the entire family will enjoy." I'll draw a winner for it next Wednesday, Dec. 7th.


In the meantime, here's a little Holiday Cheer for you to enjoy now.  BTW, there's a recipe, too....try to get past the man candy for the candy recipe.

Candy Crunch

Ingredients:

4 c pretzel sticks or pretzel twists

4 c (24-oz) white chocolate chips

1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk

1 c dried fruit (dried cranberries, raisins, etc.)
