Recipes - Christmas Crackle

 I do love a good Christmas recipe, especially those that are really easy to do and to find the ingredients.  Something not all recipes do.  This one caught my eye on Delish.  It is a great website for recipes but with a huge downside, you only get to look at a few recipes and then it locks up unless you are willing to pay for a membership.  Not a fan of that at all because there are so many recipes out there that you can find with easy searches.  This one I found before such things happened and so I shall share.  

35 saltine crackers

1 cup butter

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 3/4 cup chocolate chips

1 bag red and green holiday M&Ms

1 jar holiday sprinkles

Preheat oven to 350F

Line a baking sheet with tin foil and spray with cooking spray. Line the baking sheet with crackers and set aside. In a saucepan melt butter and brown sugar and bring to a boil, stirring continuously until bubbles break the surface, about 2 minutes. Pour mixture over crackers in an even layer and bake 12 to 15 minutes. Top immediately with chocolate chips and let melt. Smooth out to an even layer and then top with M&Ms and sprinkles. Cut into squares and the cool in fridge until the chocolate has hardened.

As I said - easy and yummy.  

Have yourself a great day!

Favourite Christmas Carols - Do You Hear What I Hear?

 

So here is December and also the beginning of Advent.  I love the four weeks of Advent and this year because the first Sunday was the 1st of December it is exactly 25 days this year.  That doesn't happen too often.  

A blogger friend of mine puts up holiday questions and answers and asks her friends to answer the questions too and I do but had yet to share the questions and answers here but I am going to spread them out and put memories and reasons too.  

The first one is favourite holiday song and I will put my top favourite over the weeks until Christmas.  The first one is 'Do You Hear What I Hear?' but only by Bing Crosby.  Others have done this song and they do okay but Bing managed a power behind the words that really made the song way more powerful than any other artist.  

Here are the words of the song and I will share the YouTube video of his performance and you may see what I mean.  

Do you hear what I hear?

Said the night wind to the little lamb

Do you see what I see?

(Do you see what I see?)

Way up in the sky, little lamb

Do you see what I see?

(Do you see what I see?)

A star, a star, dancing in the night

With a tail as big as a kite

With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy

Do you hear what I hear?

(Do you hear what I hear?)

Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy

Do you hear what I hear?

(Do you hear what I hear?)

A song, a song high above the trees

With a voice as big as the sea

With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king

Do you know what I know? (Do you know what I know?)

In your palace warm, mighty king

Do you know what I know? (Do you know what I know?)

A Child, a Child shivers in the cold

Let us bring him silver and gold

Let us bring him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere

Listen to what I say! (Listen to what I say!)

Pray for peace, people, everywhere

Listen to what I say! (Listen to what I say!)

The Child, the Child sleeping in the night

He will bring us goodness and light

He will bring us goodness and light

Have a wonderful Monday
