I make mini Christmas puds..I use Maderia cake cause I don't like fruit cake but its better with fruit cake! this is so easy and lovely to do with the kids

Ingredients

1 Maderia Cake or Fruit Cake I use Tesco own brand
1 Large Bar Milk Chocolate
1 Large Bar White Chocolate
Glaces Cherries
Angelica
Sweet cases

Melt the milk chocolate then crumble enough cake into it to make a sticky dough that can be rolled into balls. Roll smallish balls that will fit into the sweet cases. Leave to set while you melt the white chocolate. Once melted take the rolled balls and dip the tops in the white choclate or drizzle it on with a spoon. Cut up tiny slices off the Angelica and cherries and decorate on top of the puds to look like Holly and berries.

Honestly these are lush..heres a piccy of what they look like, although here they have used red/green icing, you could also use those squeezy icing pens too. And you could add Brandy...yum!

gingerbread reindeers.

make gingerbread as per normal, use a "man cutter" to make the shapes. when you come to decorate, turn upside down so he is standing on head!!! his feet become antlers, arms become ears and body/head become reindeers head. kids love them!!!

Peanut Butter Balls

Ingredients
2 cups creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
4 cups confectioners' sugar
3 cups crisp rice cereal
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Melt peanut butter and butter in saucepan, over low heat. In large bowl, mix crispy rice cereal and confectioners' sugar well. Pour melted peanut butter and butter over cereal and sugar and blend together thoroughly.
Form into 1 inch or smaller balls, spread on cookie sheets, chill till firm in refrigerator (over night is okay).
Melt chocolate in double boiler and keep melted while working with balls. A teaspoon is best to use in dipping the balls in chocolate. Dip good and place on cookie sheet. As you dip them place them back on cookie sheet and keep chilled till firm.
