It seems everyone has a special recipe they're fond of. Even though I like my mom's White Chocolate Rum Fudge, my sister-in-law makes a chocolate fudge with walnuts that I always look forward to every year during the Christmas and holiday party season. Serve a favorite fudge as a sweet treat at your next dinner party, picnic or bring a tin along as a hostess gift!

Sweet Treats

Fudge is one of my family's favorite holiday candies. Christmas just wouldn't be the same to them if I didn't make fudge! My own mom always made Marshmallow Fudge for the holidays

I'll be sharing my favorite candy and dessert recipes with you that I've collected over the years that the kids and grandchildren always ask for!

White Chocolate Rum Fudge

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 C white chocolate chips
2 C butterscotch chips
1 t rum flavored extract
1 t butter flavored extract

Pour the can of condensed milk into a medium saucepan and place it over medium heat.
Add the white chocolate and butterscotch chips.
Stirring constantly, heat the mixture until the chips have completely melted.
The mixture should be very smooth and creamy when done.
Remove the mixture from the heat.
Add the rum and butter extract and stir until completely combined.
Place a piece of wax paper into a square pan being sure there is enough over the edge to use as handles.
Spread the mixture into the prepared pan evenly.
Place the pan in the refrigerator for about 1 hour until the fudge becomes firm.
Remove the pan from the refrigerator and using the wax paper handles lift the fudge from the pan.
Cut the fudge into bite size squares and store in an airtight container.

This sweet and salty Christmas Holiday Reindeer Food trail mix recipe is easy to make and the perfect snack or dessert to surprise your family and friends at your next Christmas Party or Holiday Event !

Christmas Holiday Reindeer Food Trail Mix

You won't believe how easy it is to make ! I bought one box of each Chex and Cheerio cereal at Aldi (that store is terrific) and had enough to give away to all of the relatives and neighbors. Of course, my little granddaughter thinks it's the perfect breakfast food because it has Cheerios and Rice Chex in it ! That's what Grandmoms are for !

If you can find the red and green M&Ms that makes it even more festive and fun, but I haven't seen them in awhile around here.

I like to add about a cup of confectioner's sugar after the white chocolate is mixed in to give this sweet treat even more sugary goodness!

Box it up in festive tins to give out as gifts or bring to your office holiday party !

We also enjoy making the original Chex Mixx that is more spicy, not sweet, and is always a favorite when our family secret ingredient is added
