Of all the homemade food treats I gave to friends and family this season, the one that got rave reviews and disappeared all too quickly was this easy Graham Cracker Toffee.
Neatniks, rejoice! You get the crunch of celery, the heat of sauce and the cool of blue cheese in a bun with Buffalo chicken, minus the messy fingers you get with wings.
These melt-in-your-mouth treats are absolutely delicious, and everyone will want seconds. A must for Christmas gift giving. No one would ever guess they’re lighter. —Edie DeSpain, Logan, Utah
Who needs morning drive-thru fare when you've got a 5-minute hearty toasted sandwich? Apple adds an unexpected crunch while maple syrup for dipping sweetens the deal.
When life gives you lemons, make cupcakes. These treats are all about the citrus zing: Moist lemon cake is topped with sweet cream cheese frosting with a tangy zest.
"The treats are easy for any age to make but pretty enough to share with friends. You can add color sprinkles to customize them for any holiday or occasion," relates Marcia Porch of Winter Park, Florida.
When I make them during the year, I use multicolored sprinkles on top rather than the crushed candy canes. They are on my must have list at Christmas. They are always the first to go at a party. I've had several people say, I just can't stop eating them.
We use crisp radishes for a bit of crunch and spiciness in this Crab Salad Sandwich. You can also use chopped fennel, celery, thinly sliced fresh apple, or matchsticks of jicama as alternatives.
Naughty or nice, everyone will love these easy cho-coal-late treats. Cocoa Puffs cereal dipped in melted chocolate and marshmallows create these tasty stocking stuffers.
Uncooked ramen noodles, almonds, and sunflower nuts add extra crunch to this side salad. Quick to prepare and easy to tote, it's an obvious choice for potlucks and camping.
