When you make the snowmen instead of using a toothpick and having to worry about the kids, you can just use the same pretzel you are using. Either push one threw or if you need use a second one to extend it to make it longer. Just a thought. I love all of your ideas.
Why didn't I think of that!!!!
Yep, I thought the same =)
Buckeyes have always been a favorite of mine!
They are so good!
GURLLL!!!!! I thought almond extract was MY secret weapon!? lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣SERIOUSLY TH BEST!
It's soooooo good that way!
Crack is soooo good with milk chocolate on top, or done with pretzels or Breton minis instead of soda crackers ❤
Yum!
If you use pretzels, do you break them up first?
MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS! I hope you and your family are filled with many blessings and sweet memories. Thank you for sharing your time and recipes.
You are so sweet! Same to you!!
I love that you made them as a short recipe. They all seem easy and simple, can't wait to try them. Job well done. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
I top the peanut butter ritz crackers with Reese’s pieces. Kids love them. Or holiday sprinkles would add a nice touch.
Oh that's a great idea!
Thanks again for the cute and
easy treats!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
Merry Christmas to you too!
Merry Christmas and thank you for all these terrific recipes for sweets. I hope you have a very Happy, Healthy and Blessed New Year.
Thank you so much. Merry Christmas to you too!
All these look so good! I love the cinnamon roll Christmas trees idea :)
Thank you! Yes, they are so easy to make too
Merry Christmas 🎄 and a very happy new year ❤️ thanks for all those fabulous recipes 🙏
You're so welcome!
You will not believe how delicious it is it almost turns into like a toffee consistency it's delicious
I'm going to have to try it!
Love the recipes today, they all look so very good! Thanks for sharing! Christmas Blessings to you and your family!
Thank you! You too
I love almond extract. I add almond extract when I make Rice Krispy Treats. The kids love them!!
SO good!
All these look so delicious . Hope you and your family have an amazing and blessed Christmas 🎄⛄❤️
Thank you so much! You too
Absolutely love the soda cracker candy!!!
It's so good!
Great sweet recipes Amber. Hope you and your family have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year xxx
Thank you so much! same to you!
For BUCKEYES, we add Rice Krispies, either crushed or not crushed, and it makes them almost like a Nestle's Crunch bar!
Oh that's a great idea!
I add honey and just enough kosher salt to juuuuust taste it. you do have to compensate the honey with powder sugar, but they are so creamy and that hint of salt compliments the peanut butter really well.
Me too
Merry Christmas to you and your family! ❤️ Great ideas in this video!
Thank you! You too!
I enjoyed watching biscotti be made!
It's so good!
Thank you Amber for the tip on melting chocolate versus melting chocolate chips and food coloring.
You are so welcome!
When I was a young girl, our local mall sold fresh pretzels and we'd get also a side of melted chocolate. It was my treat everytime we went..
Yum!!!
Yay
Love these ideas! So simple!
They are!
Girl you did that
All these look so yummy and easy and festive! Merry Christmas to you and your family
Merry Christmas to you too!
Forgot to tell you that I love watching your videos...God bless you and yours ❤🙏
Thank you so much!!
I am a huge Almond person too! Loved all of these
So good!
I always make the peanut butter ritz dipped in almond bark. This year I bought a box of Ritz Bits dropped them into the melted bark. Out of the whole box there were only two I couldn’t use. They are a cute size and it took no time to make them! I make the peanut clusters too but use cashews, always a big hit! I like to melt chocolate add a few drops of peppermint extract and dip Ritz crackers, taste just like the Girl Scout cookies! Pretzel crisps are great for dipping, I only dip about half a crisp and then shake sprinkles, hands don’t get messy! Enjoyed your video as always!
What a good idea! And a great time saver.
Thanks for sharing can’t wait to try them ❤️ and have a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Merry Christmas to you too!
Will make the buckeyes. Thank you
You're welcome!

Same to you!
Great job. Happy Holidays
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
🎅🏻🎄🤶🏻Easy & yummy treats
Thanks
You're welcome!
Peanut clusters is correct.
These all look wonderful. You are so resourceful. I do the chocolate peanuts, pecans and almonds.. I roast the pecans and almonds. The peanut crackers one of my daughters reminded me how much they liked that. We used the mini Ritz sandwich crackers which was super easy. I am going to do as your doing here.
The pretzels I may do too.
God bless all here.
I feel like those peanut clusters with other nut options would be so good!
Merry Christmas to you , wonderful treats .
Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!
Cute idea
Thank you!

Christmas crack is good with nuts on top too.
Absolutely!!
I make the Christmas crack but top it with crushed peppermints after spreading the chocolate. Or I use toffee bits other times during the year.
Yes!! So many fun toppings for this one
Love your ideas I just found your channel ❤️
So glad you're here!
cool
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you too!
I have to try that biscotti
So good
I loved all the recipes just wish I could have saw some sprinkles but thank you so much I'll try them
I used sprinkles in the last recipe. But we have to be careful with them as my son can't have certain dyes.
@@FeedingtheByrds oh sorry ☹,I just sprinkle crazy 🤗
I make the crack but call it Almond Roca. I also sprinkle it with nuts 😃🎅🏼
Yes!! Nuts, peppermint, so many options!
They call it that because it's so addicting .
For the snowmen, you could use a candy cane/peppermint stick instead of the tooth pick, that way as the marshmallows melt, so does the candy cane/peppermint stick which also gives the hot chocolate a peppermint flavor...we do tjat all the time. It's so yummy 😊
Such a good idea!
My neighbor calls it toffee & Ive also seen it made with chopped nuts scattered over the chocolate layer.
Hope y’all have a fantastic Christmas!
I’m definitely making the chocolate covered peanut butter ritz. Publix had them on bogo last week so I’m stocked up. Those and the Bunkey ritz pie with whipped cream. And Mandy’s green beans will all be served at our Christmas Eve lunch.
Oh nice! Yes you definitely should make them then
Try making the crack with graham crackers. Delish.
oh yum!
Hello
Happy Christmas
Happy New Year to you the country
Cheers toyou
Merry Christmas to u and your family!(🎄🎅🎁 )
Merry Christmas!!
Hi from Illinois!
Hello there!
Hello there!
Please continue to live and make UA-cam videos. God bless your soul ❤
Thank you!
I am so thankful that I came across your channel!!!! It just popped up on my feed! With the grinch one, is there a way to keep the banana from turning brown? I’ve got a one and a half hour drive from my house to my parents house and I would like to make these for my nieces and my nephews. They would absolutely adore those.! ❤🙌👏🥰
Oh and I did subscribe!
Hmmm. The most we have ever made these ahead was about 45 min to an hour. But they are so cute!!
I've heard you can use soda water to keep them from turning brown but I haven't tried it
@@FeedingtheByrds I did google it and it said either soda water or lemon juice but I think I’ll go with the soda water cause I’m afraid the Lemon juice may make it taste tart. Thank you for the suggestion and wonderful recipes!!!
9:20 Hint: when you are forming the biscotti logs, scoop the dough onto the parchment paper and then just wet your hands with water and then pat them into the logs. Much less sticky.
And maybe an egg wash?
Great tip!!
I do my Xmas crack with honey Graham crackers,cause I don't like the taste with the salty crackers lol and I put m&m's or other candies on top
Great idea. There is just so many different ways to do these.
Never thought of changing the crackers to Graham Crackers, but we do add some chopped pecans onto the chocolate tho!
I add 1Tbsp peanut butter to chocolate peanuts
Yum!!
We sprinkle heath bits on our crack, and
We use graham crackers
Oh that sounds delicious! I'm coming to your house.
I saw that you have a Kitchen Aid lift mixer. How do you think it compares to a regular Kitchen Aid mixer? I’ve been contemplating the lift mixer for awhile. Does the lift just make it sturdier? How does it work when you need to add ingredients as it’s mixing? Love all of your recipes! Thanks for the tip of adding the almond extract to the buckeyes. For the peanut cluster I add raisins to mine, too.
These are great questions. Honestly, this is the only one I've ever had. When I need to add ingredients, I just turn off the mixer and add and then start it again, unless its in a bigger bowl and then I lower the mixer to add. I really love it but I don't have anything to compare it to other than just a handheld mixer.
😀
Godloveyou much
Inthecoutry
Cheers toyou
Thank you!
all fabulous, but just an idea, the cute snowmen, instead of using a cocktail stick in the middle why not use one of the edible sticks you used as arms and legs, then its safe and all edible .. from the uk x
I don't know why I didn't think of that!
I know it is really busy around Xmas but if people want to do themselves and the under-priveliged a favor then tidy up your home......I know it is too much to do it all at one time but today, for instance, I cleaned up my walk in wardrobe where I found toys still in boxes that I had as presents when my kids were invited to a birthday party at the last moment........My kids are now grown so I donated all the toys to a local charity shop and it's a win/win situation. They will pack them into hampers for needy kids and I have more storage space......There is also many shopping malls and other places where you can leave non-perishable food items that are packaged up into hampers for Xmas......My mom loves to give me packets or rice and pasta and cans off soup I don't need. I was able to donate all these so my pantry is not cluttered anymore and some families get a nice food hamper for Xmas.
Great tips!!
Have you heard of Monkey Bread? Love the simple recipes.
Yes I have!! And we've made it many times. SO good!
Mix a 1/4 cup chopped nuts into your Carmel mixture when you add the almond flavor. First recipe. Then pour over crackers. Another thing you can use graham crackers instead of saltines. Even better.
Oh yum!
Use parchment paper for the christmas crack. It peels right off.
Great tip!
Thanks what biscuit mixture did use for doughnuts?
Just regular biscuits!
I sprinkle pink Himalayan salt on top before putting into the fridge
Thank you for that idea!
I don't love the name Christmas crack either - Leslie over at the Farming Pastor's Wife calls it Brickle, which I DO like. :) TY for the video, and Merry Christmas!
That's a great idea! This one I actually get, even though I don't love the name, just because you actually crack it.
I use a small scoop to make the balls
Good idea!
How long does the chocolate dip stay dippable? Does it thicken or dry out quickly? Thanks so much!
I bought the chocolate bark from Walmart comes in white,brown and I believe almond. I melted it in the microwave and then filled a baking dish with hot water and set the bowl into it. Kept it melted long enough for me to do a lot of stuff. I also dipped oreo's and put green and red sprinkles. Just make sure not to get water in your chocolate.
Great tip!!
