I've just written out my ingredients list. I brave the supermarket tomorrow.

Store in an airtight container, between layers of grease proof paper.

Amethist, how long will your recipes last. I don't mean if we eat them :rolleyes: I mean will they store in a tin until Christmas

I have already made the earth squares and put them in tins, in our front bedroom away from the heat. They are a bit sticky and not solid like you think they would be, but not gooey either.

I am leaving anything with milk in them until a few days before Christmas, so maybe make those the Tuesday or Wednesday.

How about this for a really nice room scent for Christmas. You blend the oils into a small dark bottle, then drop a few drops into a burner filled with water. I am making this one up today.

​

4 to 6 drops Patchouli essential oil​

​

2 to 4 drops Cinnamon essential oil​

​

3 to 5 drops Sweet Orange essential oil​

​

1 to 2 drops Clove essential oil​

​

Optional: 1 drop Ylang Ylang essential oil​

​

​

I blended this one as per recipe, but found it to be more orange then anything else. So am going to cut down on the orange and add in more cinnamon and clove.

So for the larger drop quantity, 6 drops of Patchouli, 5 drops of Cinnamon, 3 drops of Clove, and only 3 of Orange.

Oreo Balls (as opposed to SNL's Schweaty Balls)

So good and easy to make

One regular sized package Oreo cookies (3 rows)
8 oz cream cheese
White chocolate almond bark

Grind the oreos up until fine in a food processor
mix in the cream cheese and chill for 15 minutes

roll mixture into 1 inch balls and chill 15 minutes more.

Melt white chocolate in the microwave and dip in each ball completely covering them. Place on waxed paper and sprinkle with green and red colored sugar sprinkles. Chill until chocolate is hardened and place in candy wrappers. YUM!

Cake Balls (or lollipops if you put them on a stick)

Any kind of cake
One container of icing
White chocolate almond bark

Bake a cake according to the directions on the box. Cool for about twenty minutes. Crumble cake into a bowl and mix with container of icing. Roll into one inch balls and refrigerate for one hour. Dip them into melted almond bark and enjoy.

I like yellow cake with cream cheese frosting. Starbucks is now selling these as cake lollipops.

Oops :D:roflmao:

Yeah, I think I have finally got my rear into gear :D. I have my dried fruit soaking in brandy ready to bake the cake tomorrow. I am also going to do the snow covered earth squares.

My cunning plan is to cook a batch of goodies every day until I am sick - obviously I must taste test :roflmao::sick:
