Cherries Piled in Snow

We tried this fun kids' Christmas recipe from apples4theteacher.com and loved it. It is easy and takes very little time to make.

1 can of cherry pie filling

1 jar of green Maraschino cherries - a small jar will do

1 package of chopped pecans - again, a small pack will do

1/2 bag of mini marshmallows

1 container of whipped topping - thaw it

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, pour the cherry pie filling in and then add the green Maraschino cherries and stir. Add the pecans, marshmallows and fold in the whipped topping. Mix everything together, stirring well. Cover the dessert and put in the refrigerator. Serve cool.

Chocolate popcorn with sprinkles

Here is another kids' Christmas recipe we tried and enjoyed.

Ingredients:

2 bags of popped popcorn

1 bag of half sweet chocolate chips

1 cup of light corn syrup

1 cup of butter

Directions:

In a saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, corn syrup, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted.

Pour the popcorn into a large bowl and then add the melted chocolate to it. Toss the popcorn well to coat evenly.

Put the popcorn in a roasting pan and cook at 300 degrees F for about 30 minutes. Allow it to cool and put in a bowl that is lined with wax paper. This popcorn will stay fresh in an airtight container for about two weeks.
