YUMMY!!! I just made this for my cluster meeting tonight and it is so good!! I love it, it is so addicting!! :thumbup:

I think it was more trouble fighting with the cellophane wrap than making the actually recipe. It is so easy and so good. It is definitely going to be something I make huge batches of for Christmas to give away!!!

I bought the plate from HEB (local grocery store) for $1. It is red with reindeer all over it. I tried to make it look like a tree. It ain't great but it works!!

Debbie :D

GREAT idea. I will definitely look into cellophane bags at hobby lobby. All my grocery store had was cellophane wrap! I hate that stuff!

I do love the large cellophane bags for my baskets of gifts during the holidays. I didn't know there were smaller sizes.
Thanks.

Debbie :D

I found them in the candy aisle.......actually, I think chefann was the one who told me where to look!:D

No matter how careful I am, I always seem to tear cellophane wrap in the wrong places.
 
Look on OTC (Oriental Trading.com) for the bags they have 50 for 3.95 in small and 50 for 7.95 in large. And colors!
