To be sure about it, look at the lemon meringue pie recipe in Most Recent Recipe; it's got the crumb crust. Very easy really: pulverize graham crackers, add a little sugar, mix in melted butter until the texture and appearance reminds you exactly of beach sand just damp enough for sandcastles, and smooth it into place in the pie pan with the back of a spoon, cook a few minutes at 350 F. Don't press it in really hard or you may have real trouble getting slices up out of the pan after baking. Just medium firm, so it stays where you want it.

I just made the easiest chocolate fudge recipe ever...and it tastes great too.
Here it is. INGREDIENTS 450g dark or milk chocolate, chopped 395g can sweetened condensed milk 50g butter METHOD Lightly grease a 20cm square cake pan. Line base and sides with baking paper. Combine all ingredients in a large heatproof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes until smooth. Spread chocolate mixture into prepared pan. Chill for 3 hours or overnight, until mixture is firm. Using a hot knife, cut fudge into small squares. Keep fudge chilled in an airtight container.

Today I made all the lollies I'm going to make.
Finished doing the rum balls last night as mentioned elsewhere. Today it was chocolate fudge, coconut ice and white christmas. I've got some nuts in shells to have fun with on the big day. I just have to get a couple of nut crackers in the mean time. I also have a bag of pistachios which Aden really likes and a kg of Jelly Belly jelly beans for the table snacks. I think that's enough table snacks. I've got a few bottles of sparkling grape juice for me and the kids. Some champagne and other wines for the drinkers and I'm going to make up some jugs of lemon, lime and bitters. I bought a turkey the other day, so that'll be the roast meat along with the ham, cold prawns and oysters (dazza says he's going to make some into kilpatrick for me, so that'll be nice), salads and a bowl of roasted veges. I think I've got it all sorted.

Only about 10 of us. There'll be leftovers, but that's the best part about Christmas. We get to pig out again on Boxing Day while we watch the cricket and generally laze about.
Oysters Kilpatrick is simply oysters in the half shell scattered with a little bit of worcestershire sauce and diced bacon and lemon juice and then grilled. Very yummy and cooked, so I can eat it too.

Peanut butter crispy balls:
1 18 ounce size jar of creamy peanut butter 2 cups rice crispy type cereal 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 to 1 1/2 bags chocolate chips (I prefer milk chocolate for these) In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine first four ingredients. Blend well until mixture forms a dough. Form into 1-inch balls. If dough is too sticky, add additional rice crispies, if too dry, add additional peanut butter. You can place balls in freezer (or out on the back step if you live in the arctic north like me*) for 30 min to make them easier to dip into the chocolate if you wish. In a double boiler over low heat or microwave safe bowl on low power slowly melt chocolate chips. Drop the balls into the chocolate until well coated. Place onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Place in freezer for 30-60 min to harden chocolate. Makes approximately 60 balls, depending on size. --I then keep these in the fridge. If I keep them out on the counter, I eat them . ADDICTIVE! *watch for the local neighborhood stray cat though...apparently some like peanut butter

I ate two because they wouldn't fit on the tray for the fridge. They're so rich. I think I'm going to be sick. Yummy though. Thanks LR.

Yeah...he's talking about a biscuit base, in which case you can just use gingernuts or something like that instead of Nice biscuits which make a sweet, but less overpowering base as you probably know.

Oysters Kilpatrick sound YUM! I'm going to cook some cornbread for Boxing Day. I don't care if I'm the only one who eats it. |
