Mars Bar Slice

3 Mars Bars
3 oz butter
3 cups of Rice Krispies
Chocolate to melt
Cut up the Mars Bars into small pieces and place them in a bowl with the butter. Melt them in the microwave. Careful not to "cook" the Mars Bars, it should just start to melt with the butter.

Christmas Cake
My Grandma's famous fruit cake recipe
Here is my Grandma's Christmas cake recipe. She died before I was born. My mother named me after her. Her name was Violet May and I am Sharon May.
My Mother made this recipe every Christmas I remember as a young child her preparing everything before Christmas. When I was older I would help her. In my early 20's I did a cake decorating course and decorated Mom's Christmas Cake for her each year.
My dear Mom died of Alzheimer's in July2008.
Her Christmas cake would be a favorite of all the family and everyone made sure they had an extra piece to take home with them at the end of Christmas day. So I hope you enjoy this traditional Christmas cake recipe.
3/4lb butter
1 1/2 cups of sugar
4 eggs beaten
2lb mixed fruit
1lb plain flour
1/2 packet mixed spice
1 tablespoon of treacle
1/2 cup warm milk
1 teaspoon bicarb soda
1 tablespoon of Brandy (If you don't like Brandy just leave it out, if you do add more!)
Melt the butter in a large bowl then add sugar and stir.
Add egg mixture and beat well.
Add the rest of the ingredients.
Add the plain flour last.
Mix well.
Use butter to grease a large round cake tin around the sides and base.
Line the cake tin with brown paper around the sides and the base. Use the butter to grease to paper too. Cut a circle of brown paper to fit over the top of the cake so the top doesn't burn while cooking.
Bake for 3 hours in a very slow oven.
Hope you like your Christmas cake.

Gingerbread House
How to make your own Gingerbread Houses
Gingerbread houses are the architectural wonder of the baking world, and every year around the holidays, constructions of all shapes and sizes spring up everywhere.Some have Tootsie Roll mailboxes, shredded-wheat roofs, and gumdrop bells, while others are covered with snow and icicles and have balconies, garlands, and brightly glowing candy glass.
But no matter how elaborate a house is, one doesn't have to be an expert baker (or architect) to build one.
Gingerbread Houses:A Complete Guide To Baking And Decorating is for ginger-bread bakers who want to build their first or their fiftieth house.
With easy-to-follow instructions, it shows beginners all the basic techniques, including how to assemble the walls and roof without breaking the gingerbread. But it also shows more advanced bakers how to illuminate their house, use a glue gun, and even give last year's house a face-lift. The whimsical, two-color drawings and patterns are a wealth of new ideas for doors, windows, wreaths, bells, mailboxes, lampposts, fences, and trees. And for those who feel the entrepreneurial urge, there's even a section on marketing, packaging, pricing, and selling gingerbread houses.
With wit and humor, Christa Currie, champion gingerbread baker, makes building gingerbread houses fun for the entire family.
Gingerbread Houses is the perfect stocking stuffer for the baker or architect on your Christmas list.

Christmas with Paula Deen: Recipes and Stories from My Favorite Holiday
Review: Christmas, that time of good cheer and lapsed diets, is the perfect holiday to showcase the cooking of Food Network star Deen (Paula Deen Celebrates!), who specializes in the kind of butter-and cheese-laden fare that epitomizes family-style comfort food.Sweets and snacks account for most of the recipes, since Deen happily admits to never varying from her Christmas dinner menu, which centers on a Standing Rib Roast and features a trio of potato dishes, including some unbelievably decadent Crème Fraîche Mashed Potatoes.
Cooks will find the cookies and desserts familiar but richer, like eyebrow-raising but delicious Chocolate Cheese Fudge and creamy Chocolate Sandwich Cookies. Snacks and breakfast dishes are crowd pleasers, like gooey Praline French Toast Casserole and Cheese-coated Bacon Wraps.
Several pages of baking hints are included, but most of the recipes are simple and straightforward enough, with readily available ingredients, that even novices should be able to put together a generous Christmas spread.
