Holiday Food

[catelin]

There's something about the holidays that triggers the urge to put on my apron and start cooking. The thing I love most about holiday food is that is always reminds us of things. Favorite holiday goodies and the memories they inspire, please! Oh, and any new recipes will be greatly appreciated. : )

The recipe is basically the same as for making Rice Krispie treats except for the substitution of old-fashioned colorful Trix cereal (you may need to use a generic brand since Trix comes in odd shapes now).

Instead of letting your mix set in a pan, pack it firmly into lightly greased sno-cone cups. Insert a popsicle stick into the center of your now filled cup. Leave about half the length of the stick exposed. Then add a large gumdrop onto the end of the popsicle stick, with the flat side of the gumdrop facing out.

When the Trix mix sets, remove the sno-cone cups. Stand your new confections upright so they rest on their gumdrop bases and there you have your Trix Trees.

This is so incredibly late 50's Parade Magazine and that, in fact, is where my dear mother found the recipe. Enjoy.

Christmas is always about being a kid -- especially for us alleged grown-ups.
