Tue 7 Dec 10, 10:42 PM rhuafox CA, 19 mths OK!!!! Happy, totally goofy thread - - - your best Christmas (or Holiday) treat recipes? Wanna share? And no.... I PROMISE I won't add any health disclaimers/warnings etc etc etc blech. LOL. (Isn't it so that baking/cooking for the ones you love, and at special times of year are calorie-free, and damn good for your mental health??? *smile*) So I offer - - Butter Tarts 1 pastry recipe (or frozen tart shells) 1 egg, beaten 1/3 cup real butter 1 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons milk 1/2 cup raisins 1 teaspoon vanilla I use frozen tart shells from the store because I cannot make pastry. Divide the raisins up and drop them into the unbaked tart shells. Combine the rest of the ingredients and whisk together. Bake at 450 degrees F for 8 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F - continue to bake 15-20 minutes until crust is golden brown. Cool on wire racks. I usually double the recipe Hmmmm.... I wonder if I have some raisins..... migrating the the kitchen...... Cheers to whatever tradition you hold dear!

I think there is something so special about creating and making something for one's owner to eat! 8 Dec 10, 4:05 PM SirSeven 3 yrs Our freezer is now packed with home made chocolate chip cookies meant to be taken home for the holidays. As an admitted choc-o-holic, my strength and resolve are tested every time I open the freezer. To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. -Elbert Hubbard 8 Dec 10, 5:01 PM seresse US(PA), 23 mths Y! Ooh! My resolve would be sorely tested, too! Actually it is, since i have been baking for the last couple of days. Here is one of my favorites: (slightly modified from the original to accommodate my wheat intolerance.) 1 cup (2 sticks) butter (real butter) 1 cup brown sugar 1 tspn vanilla Cream together until smooth, then add: 1 cup oat flour 1 cup rice flour pinch salt Mix all together until a soft dough. (here's where you can add things like a cup of chopped pecans, or raisins or whatever you like) Roll into a log on floured board, chill, then slice. Place slices on cookie sheet and bake at 350F for about 14 to 16 minutes. Hope you enjoy as much as i do seresse 10 Dec 10, 1:47 AM mutable 2 yrs My mum's recipie for Tiffin: 4oz butter - 8oz crushed, plain biscuits (eg. rich tea) - 2tblsp golden syrup - 2tblsp drinking chocolate - 1tblsp sugar - lots of chocolate for topping Melt butter, syrup, drinking choc and sugar in pan - do not boil. Add crushed biscuits and mix. Press firmly into greased tin and refridgerate. Once cooled, top with melted chocolate and refridgerate again. Cut into squares. I know it sounds sickly and a bit too easy (yes to both), but its really lovely and very bad for the figure!

I'm in These are so, so, YUMMY!!! My mum used to make them and now I don't miss a year! They are quick, easy and no bake. Chocolate Marshmallow Roll Directions:- Beat together; 1 egg and 1 cup icing sugar Blend in; 1/4 cup margarine 2 squares melted unsweetened chocolate 4 cups miniature marshmallows. (multi coloured are more fun) Divide in 3 portions and roll in desiccated coconut. Wrap in waxed paper and chill. This will be best if stored in the refrigerator 2 to 3 days OR frozen. Slice and serve. Yield:- 3 dozen Edited to add: you roll each of the three portions so they look like logs, then roll them in the coconut. 333-528-841 Life shouldn't be measured by the breaths you take; but by the moments that take your breath away - unknown Edited 10 Dec 10, 2:05 AM by 333-528-841 10 Dec 10, 6:07 AM rhuafox CA, 19 mths Ooooohhhhh........ copying down things madly (my printer is apparently on strike...) and headed to the kitchen!

I have always used it for recipes that call for corn syrup. Rice crispies are almost universal although they may be called different things other places. Snap, crackle, pop... Edited to add: The drinking chocolate would be like Cadbury's drinking chocolate. Drinking chocolate is made with chocolate instead of cocoa and usually has some sugar or sweetner in it. I guess you would say over on this side of the pond hot chocolate. 333-528-841 Life shouldn't be measured by the breaths you take; but by the moments that take your breath away - unknown Edited 11 Dec 10, 6:45 PM by 333-528-841 11 Dec 10, 7:16 PM mutable 2 yrs property_of_MacCain wrote: mutable wrote: My mum's recipie for Tiffin: 4oz butter - 8oz crushed, plain biscuits (eg. rich tea) - 2tblsp golden syrup - 2tblsp drinking chocolate - 1tblsp sugar - lots of chocolate for topping i'm assuming golden syrup is what we call corn syrup here, does anyone know for sure?

Is fluff sold elsewhere? p Thanks for clarifying 841, but just to add: I don't know what corn syrup is but as 841 substitutes it, it sounds similar to golden syrup - golden in colour and very sweet and sticky! Drinking chocolate (to make a mug of) rarely needs to be sweetened; just add water or milk for a hot drink. So yes, sounds like 'hot chocolate' to me. Cadbury's do make a good one, but 'own brands' are a suitable alternative. Unlike rice crispie cakes, tiffin is denser and heavier as the biscuit soaks up a lot of the other ingredients, rather than being coated by them.

Super easy and super yummy. Is fluff sold elsewhere? p I read on wiki that golden syrup can be used as a substitute for corn syrup, but I wouldn't, as I think the tastes are quite different. Do you have treacle over there? If not, I'd use honey as it has a similar consistency to golden syrup. We hardly use corn syrup for any cooking over here (unless it's for an American recipe) and I've heard nasty things about it, so I might just be biased against it. We have rice crispies in Australia, and I've seen them in the UK too. i have no need, for such things, but to make you happy... Josh Pyke Edited 11 Dec 10, 10:16 PM by thegildedlili Next page
