Yummy Easy Christmas Candies


CRUNCHY CRACKER CANDY
35 Saltine Crackers
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 cup chocolate chips (I used more than this, I also used milk chocolate)
1 cup chopped Walnuts (I used pecans)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place crackers in foil-lined 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
Place butter and sugar in saucepan; cook on medium-high heat until butter is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring occasionally. Bring to boil; boil 3 min. without stirring. Spread over crackers.
Bake 5 to 7 min. or until topping is golden brown. Immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips; let stand 3-5 min. or until chocolate is softened. Spread chocolate evenly over ingredients in pan; sprinkle with walnuts. Cool. Break into pieces.
Mmmmm, Tastes like toffee.

The next recipe I got from my friend Holly's blog. They are delicious! And sooooo easy. Definitely my kind of recipe!

OREO BALLS
1 pkg. Oreo cookies
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 pkg. chocolate chips, melted for dipping

Slightly crush entire package of Oreos in a large ziploc bag (Cole loved doing this). In a mixing bowl, combine Oreos and cream cheese. Beat until completely combined. Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls and set aside (I refrigerated them at this point). Melt chocolate chips. Dip oreo balls in melted chocolate and set on wax paper to harden or put in fridge to harden faster.

Oh yum. Can you just see Christian eating his weight in Oreo balls? I have heard a lot of good things about the saltine cracker desert. I think I may have to try it.

By the way, I didn't get Christmas cards out this year. So I just wanted to tell you Merry Christmas. I hope you guys have a wonderful day.
