FRUGAL COLUMBUS MOM: CHEAP AND/OR EASY HOLIDAY RECIPES

2 INGREDIENT FUDGE

FROSTING AND CHOCOLATE CHIPS

SALTINE CRACKER TOFFEE

CAKE BATTER PUPPY CHOW

(Might try this with butter pecan cake mix)

KOOL- AID FLAVORED RICE KRISPY TREATS

NO BAKE BOSTON CREAM PIE

(I think I would cheat and use instant vanilla pudding

and melt some chocolate frosting in the

microwave and pour over top. Another idea

would be to use unfrosted cheap poptarts

in place of the graham crackers.)

CREAMY MINTS

S'MORES CUPS

CANDIED POPCORN FLAVORED WITH GELATIN

REINDEER CUPCAKES
Can't find the directions for these but they look
simple enough to make.
Pretzel antlers, nilla wafer snout,
dab melted chocolate on M&M's for nose,
I'd put chocolate chips for eyes on top
off cut mini marshmallows and
tootsie rolls cut and bent into shape
for the ears.

While this is not a recipe it's something I want
to do this year during the cold Winter months.
Colored Glass.
Fill balloons with water and some food coloring.
It says to put in freezer but if it's cold outside
I'd stick them out there to freeze. Remove
the balloon and place the colored frozen
water globes around yard for decoration.

SNOWMAN & REINDEER DOUGHNUTS

RUDOLPH CAKE POPS

CHRISTMAS LAYERED CUPCAKES

NO-BAKE BOSTON CREAM PIE STRATA

I think to make this recipe cheaper and easier
I would use cooked vanilla pudding for the
custard, for the chocolate top melt a tub
of chocolate frosting in the microwave in
15 second intervals, pour and spread on top,
use a cheap box of graham crackers from Dollar Tree.
